Singapore-Vietnam Strategic Dialogue to be ‘enduring platform’ for next-gen leaders to connect: Chan Chun Sing
The inaugural Singapore-Vietnam Strategic Dialogue, co-chaired by Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Public Services Chan Chun Sing and Tran Cam Tu of the Communist Party of Vietnam’s Central Committee Secretariat, was held to facilitate candid discussions on emerging challenges and foster relationships among next-generation leaders.
Both nations emphasized the importance of regional stability, capable governments, technological advancements, and cohesive societies for long-term success. Chan highlighted leadership development as a key area for deeper exchanges, noting the value in comparing personnel systems and leadership programs between the two countries.
Singapore's investment in leadership as a strategic national capability stems from the belief that a government's quality and capability will increasingly distinguish successful nations. The dialogue also saw the renewal of an agreement on study visits by the CPV, and the PAP formally hosted Tu and his delegation, pursuant to a memorandum of understanding.
The bilateral ties between Singapore and Vietnam were elevated to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in March 2025, marking a significant upgrade from their previous Strategic Partnership status.
