The Parliament of Singapore will support the initiatives and agreements that the two Governments are implementing in all aspects, he affirmed.

At the meeting, both sides also compared notes on regional and international issues of shared concern.
Speaker Tan held that Vietnam holds a highly important role in maintaining the solidarity and promoting the centrality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

He agreed that the two-law making bodies will maintain close cooperation at the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF), and other parliamentary organisations, thereby helping promote ASEAN’s solidarity and common stance on strategic issues related to regional peace and stability, including the East Sea issue.
