This newly-upgraded center aims to organize broader technical assistance projects including urban planning, educational services, consulting and projects supporting, charity and humanitarian assistance, Catherine Wong noted.
She expressed her hope that the center will bring a comprehensive development support partnership with many prestigious public and private agencies and organizations such as Singapore’s Department of Business Development, Singapore International Fund, Singapore Red Cross, Temasek Fund and Lien AID, among others.
Vietnam and Singapore upgraded bilateral ties to strategic partnership in 2013. Singapore is the third largest foreign investor in Vietnam.
