Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh hosts a welcome ceremony for his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong in Hanoi on August 28.
PM Lee’s visit to Vietnam is of great significance as the two countries are celebrating 50 years of their diplomatic ties and 10 years of their strategic partnership this year. On this occasion, Lee is expected to attend many important activities and events.
The two Prime Ministers then visited a photo exhibition featuring the land, people and relations of Vietnam and Singapore, jointly organised by the Vietnam News Agency and the Vietnam Government Office.
After that, they held talks to discuss measures to bolster the bilateral relations.
Before the welcome ceremony, the Singaporean PM laid flower wreaths and paid tribute President Ho Chi Minh at his Mausoleum.
