He noted that the increase in the popular vote share not only reflected the trust and strong support of the Singaporean people for the sound leadership of the PAP and PM Wong personally, but also served as a clear testament to the continuity and advancement of the core values that underpin the “Singapore miracle” - the ones that PM Wong and his colleagues embody.
He expressed his confidence that entrusted by the people of Singapore, Wong will continue to lead the country through future challenges and further advance Singapore’s stable and prosperous development.
Discussing bilateral relations, PM Pham Minh Chinh proposed the two countries boost economic cooperation and expand Singapore’s investment in Vietnam, particularly in high-tech sectors, renewable energy, smart infrastructure, and sustainable urban development. He also called for stronger collaboration in offshore wind power exports, carbon credit trading, financial innovation, port development, and transnational crime combat.
Wong said the PAP's election success was the result of dedicated efforts by party members to strengthen public trust.
