Singapore is one of Vietnam's largest trade partners, currently the ninth largest trade partner and the third largest investor in Vietnam.
The official visit by National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan and the high-level NA delegation is designed to tighten relations among senior leaders, especially when Singapore has just elected the President and the Speaker of the Parliament for new terms.
The visit is in response to the official visit to Vietnam by Singaporean Speaker, now President Halima Yacob and to maintain the exchange of high-level delegations of the two legislative bodies.
