Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong welcomed General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam to Singapore from 28 to 31 May 2026.

President Lam and PM Wong had a productive delegation meeting with discussions focused on strengthening cooperation and translating agreements into concrete outcomes. 

Both leaders agreed to deepen collaboration in areas such as agri-trade, renewable energy, science and technology, and human capital development. Reaffirming that both countries depend on open trade and a rules-based international order, they emphasised the importance of maximising their respective ASEAN and APEC Chairmanships next year to advance regional cooperation and integration.
