First Singapore-Vietnam Strategic Dialogue to be held on Aug 25

Talks will centre on talent development and technology cooperation

Singapore and Vietnam will host their inaugural strategic dialogue on August 25 to explore collaboration in talent development and technology cooperation. The event, chaired by Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Public Services Chan Chun Sing and Vietnam's Permanent Member of the CPV Central Committee Secretariat Tran Cam Tu, will examine governance, leadership development, and public service transformation.

Organized by Singapore's Public Service Division and Vietnam's foreign affairs ministry, the dialogue marks the highest level of bilateral relations since Vietnamese President To Lam's 2025 visit. Discussions will focus on two sub-themes: cultivating future-ready talent and establishing a new model for technology cooperation. During his Aug 24-25 visit, Tran Cam Tu will meet with top Singaporean officials, including President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

A renewal of the study visit agreement between the two countries' foreign affairs ministries and a joint statement on the Singapore-Vietnam Technology Connectivity Strategy are expected outcomes.
