To promote substantive cooperation between the two legislatures, Man and Seah agreed on the need to effectively implement the cooperation agreement between the two legislative bodies, contributing to advancing the Vietnam-Singapore Strategic Partnership to a new height.
They also emphasised the importance of increasing information and experience exchanges in reforming institutions and legal systems, ensuring macroeconomic stability, expanding foreign relations, and enhancing international integration.
The leaders also touched upon collaboration between parliamentary committees and agencies, as well as between lawmakers, including young and female legislators.
On this occasion, Man urged Singapore to adopt policies that create favourable conditions for Vietnamese businesses, investors, and people living, working, and studying in the country.
