Việt Nam-Singapore accelerate co-operation in digital and green economy
Bilateral trade relations between Việt Nam and Singapore in digital and green economy are expected to further deepen. This February, Việt Nam and Singapore signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on green and digital economic partnership to deepen the bilateral co-operation in the two emerging areas. It is better for us to work together both bilaterally as well as regionally, even within ASEAN where we have the digital economy framework. So I think digitalisation and the green economy are some of areas of collaboration between Singapore and Việt Nam. We have our Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) scheme to support our enterprises expand into overseas markets, including Việt Nam.
