Vietnamese and Singaporean businesses signed cooperation deals worth nearly 11 billion USD at the Vietnam-Singapore business dialogue on February 25, which was attended by President Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

Speaking at the event, which drew more than 100 business of the two countries in different sectors, President Phuc said he hopes the deals will be realised early, and urged both Vietnamese and Singaporean enterprises to take practical actions to contribute to the growth of bilateral relations, especially when the two sides are to celebrate their 50th diplomatic ties and 10 years of strategic partnership in 2023.

Underlining the role of businesses in implementing the two countries' cooperation strategies, President Phuc pledged that Vietnam will always create optimal conditions for enterprises of both sides to develop their partnership by improving its business environment, increasing transparency and dealing with problems in logistics, land and human resources.

The State leader said that Vietnam is rolling out measures to speed up economic recovery with the targets of 7 percent of economic growth in 2022 and inflation rate of under 5 percent. From now to 2025, the country aims for an average GDP growth of 6.5-7 percent per year, with digital economy accounting for 20 percent of the GDP, he said, stating that this is a good chance for Singaporean firms to increase investment in Vietnam.

Vietnam prioritises FDI projects that use high technology, help Vietnamese firms to engage deeper into the value chains and contribute to promoting digital economy as well as sustainable growth of Vietnam, he said.
