During the discussion, Ambassador Ratnam proposed launching a new bilateral cooperation platform, the Singapore - Vietnam Strategic Policy Dialogue, based on agreements reached by the two countries' senior leaders. This mechanism will serve as a Party-to-Party cooperation channel to exchange views on shared policy challenges.

Expressing support for the Ambassador’s proposal, Thang stressed the need to further strengthen joint activities within the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, including continued cooperation in training programs and staff exchanges.
