Vietnam and Singapore have agreed to elevate their 40-year-old relationship into a strategic partnership.
This was confirmed in a joint statement following talks between Vietnamese PM Nguyen Tan Dung and his visiting Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday.
The two sides have agreed to promote political ties through regular exchanges, economic, agricultural, legal, and cultural ties as well as cooperation in defense and security, health, and education and training.
They will also strengthen ties in banking and finance, communication, IT, transport, tourism, and urban management and development.
During their talks, the two leaders supported the establishment of friendship associations in their countries to promote exchanges between the two peoples.
They hailed the continuing development of their security and defense ties on the basis of the 2009 Defense Cooperation Agreement and the 2006 Transnational Crime Prevention Cooperation Agreement which was extended in 2012.
Dung said Singapore has always been one of Vietnam’s top investors and trade partners.
Bilateral trade last year surpassed US$9 billion and Singapore’s investment in Vietnam exceeds $28 billion.
Lee promised to promote Singaporean investment in Vietnam and also acknowledged Vietnam’s request to enable export of agricultural and seafood produce and garments to Singapore.
The two PMs appreciated the efficient functioning of the four Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Parks around the country, with the joint statement calling them symbols of the mutually beneficial relationship between the two nations, and expressed hope for similar success for the fifth VSIP to be built in Quang Ngai Province.
Lee also met with Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on Wednesday and President Truong Tan Sang and National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung a day later.
He is set to accompany Dung to the groundbreaking ceremony for the Quang Ngai IP today.
This is Lee’s fourth visit to Vietnam.

Vietnam PM faces unprecedented call to quit
Vietnam PM faces unprecedented call to quit
It is believed to be the first time ever that a Vietnamese prime minister has been publicly urged to resign by a member of the one-party state's 500-strong National Assembly.
"It's time to take real responsibility not just apologise," lawmaker Duong Trung Quoc said as Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung looked on calmly.
Quoc, an outspoken historian and one of the less than 10 per cent of lawmakers who do not belong to the Communist Party, urged Dung to "start the government's progress towards a resignation culture".
"The people are asking why it seems the prime minister does not value his responsibilities to the people as highly as he does those to the party," he said.
Quoc's comments attracted an outpouring of support on Vietnamese-language online forums and blogs, which are hugely popular in the heavily-censored country, where the communist party tightly restricts political debate.
A second lawmaker, Nguyen Ba Thuyen, said Dung's failure to set out a plan to overcome the country's economic woes had damaged public trust in the Communist leadership.
The growing pressure comes as Vietnam grapples with slowing economic growth, resurgent inflation, falling foreign direct investment and rising fears about toxic debts in the fragile banking system.
Dung, 62, escaped punishment at a key Communist Party meeting last month over a string of scandals that have tainted the country's leadership.
But in an attempt to deflect increasing criticism, the party issued a rare self-rebuke and Dung apologised for corruption, inefficiencies and major losses at state-run giants such as shipbuilder Vinashin.
Responding to Wednesday's rare public attack, a cheerful-looking Dung said that he had never sought high office for himself.
"The party assigned me to continue to be the prime minister," he said, adding that he had been a loyal party member for 51 years.
"I did not lobby, I did not ask for, nor refuse, any assignment given by the party and state," he said.
The National Assembly is currently considering a resolution that could force senior leaders to win a vote of confidence to remain in office, but it is unclear whether the vote would be anything more than symbolic.
Dung, a former central bank governor whose second five-year term was approved by the communist-controlled parliament in July 2011, is said to have become the country's most powerful prime minister ever.
The National Assembly, however, has also gradually become more outspoken. In 2010, a lawmaker called in vain for Dung to face a confidence vote after the near-collapse of Vinashin.
The lawmaker's attack on Dung highlights rising dissatisfaction in Vietnamese society over the political dominance of the Communist Party, according to one Hanoi-based analyst speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity.
"What is good for the party is not necessarily good for the people. (Quoc's) question raises a key issue: is the supreme leadership of the party good for the country? And is it the only correct choice?" he said.

Iran's Ahmadinejad in Vietnam
Iran's Ahmadinejad in Vietnam to woo communist ally
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Vietnam Friday on the first visit by an Iranian president in 17 years, as the sanctions-hit Islamic republic seeks to strengthen ties with allies outside the West.
Ahmadinejad, making a two-day stop in Hanoi on the way home from the Bali Democracy Forum, discussed economic links and other potential areas of cooperation with President Truong Tan Sang.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Ahmadinejad hailed the "very friendly" relations between the two countries and said both sides aimed to strengthen their bilateral ties.
"We are determined to extend cooperation in different fields, including (the) economy, agriculture, industry, science and technology, culture, tourism and sport," he said, speaking through an interpreter.
It is the highest-level Iranian visit since 1995 to the communist nation, which is generally seen as supportive of Tehran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Sang said cooperation between the two countries would be "accelerated" in the future. Ahmadinejad was also due to meet Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung for talks on trade and investment.
The two countries -- which established diplomatic ties in 1973 -- have previously signed a range of agreements to cooperate on oil and gas and infrastructure projects.
Iran is struggling under tough Western sanctions over its controversial nuclear activities. A shortage of foreign currency caused a plunge in the value of the Iranian rial last month.
Western powers suspect Tehran is using the programme to develop atomic weapons capability. Iran denies that and says its nuclear activities are purely peaceful.
A Hanoi-based diplomat said Ahmadinejad's visit was an attempt to seek diplomatic and economic support from a friendly nation but "lacked substance" as Vietnam is not in a position to help much given its own economic woes.
