During a visit of Singapore’s Prime Minister to Vietnam, where he met his counterpart, the two leaders agreed to step up cooperation in renewable energy, carbon credits and the digital economy. They also agreed to establish annual PM-to-PM meetings to discuss issues of mutual concern and explore upgrading bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
