He believed that the overseas Vietnamese community in Singapore will continue to effectively contribute to the development of the country and take the Vietnam-Singapore Strategic Partnership into practice in the coming time.
On this occasion, Mr. Minh wished all guests and overseas Vietnamese a healthy, happy and successful New Year, building the overseas Vietnamese community in Singapore to be stronger, and contributing to better confirming the position and wisdom of the Vietnamese people in Singapore and among international friends.
