He called for enhanced cooperation in promising areas such as the digital economy, green economy, and the establishment of an international financial centre in Vietnam. He also proposed expanding investment in the Vietnam – Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) system to include smart urban areas and digital commerce, as well as strengthening high-quality human resource training in both the short and long term.

They also committed to strengthening existing cooperation mechanisms.

They affirmed their determination to elevate bilateral ties to new heights while closely coordinating within ASEAN to build a strong community, maintain peace, stability, and protect common regional interests amid complex international developments.

Chinh conveyed an invitation from Vietnamese State President Luong Cuong to Lawrence to attend the signing ceremony of the United Nations Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes in Hanoi in October 2025.
