At the reception, Joe Tan said SVIV wants to learn about the market and connect with business partners in Vietnam.

According to Tran Van Dang, President of the Vietnam - Singapore Friendship Association of Hai Phong, Hai Phong is a booming city. It has the potential to cooperate with Singapore in technology, transportation, tourism, and healthcare. Hai Phong businesses hope that Singaporean partners will support experience sharing and vocational training, thereby contributing to improving the quality of highly skilled labor resources in the city.
