PRESIDENT LENNON TAN, SMF
ASEAN ECONOMIC FORUM 2025
SATURDAY, 16TH AUGUST 2025
His Excellency Mr Tran Phuoc Anh, Ambassador of Vietnam to Singapore;
Associate Prof. Dr. Bui Tat Thang, Chairman of Vietnam ASEAN Association for Economic Cooperation Development;
Esteemed Speakers; Distinguished Guests;
Ladies and gentlemen

1. Introduction
It is my honour to join you at the ASEAN Economic Forum 2025. I would like to commend the Vietnam ASEAN Association for Economic Cooperation Development for organising this timely platform to promote exchange, deepen understanding, and foster trade cooperation among ASEAN business communities — particularly between Vietnamese and Singaporean enterprises.

2. Singapore–Vietnam: A Strong and Enduring Partnership
Singapore and Vietnam established diplomatic ties in 1973, and over the decades, we have built a close, resilient, and dynamic economic relationship. Today, Vietnam ranks among Singapore’s top ASEAN trading partners, while Singapore remains one of Vietnam’s leading foreign investors.

Our partnership is not just measured in trade figures — it is reflected in the trust, mutual respect, and growing network of collaborations between our businesses. In recent years, this relationship has grown even stronger through co-organised initiatives such as the Vietnam–Singapore Sustainable Trade & Innovation Forum, which took place on the 1st of this month, the Investment Opportunities in Thanh Hoa Province event, and various trade missions and dialogues facilitated by both our organisations.



3. Navigating Global Challenges Together
Today's global landscape is complex, marked by supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, climate change and rising protectionism such as the recent tariffs. While challenging, these factors open new opportunities within ASEAN to strengthen regional security across multiple dimensions.

The Vietnam–Singapore Industrial Parks (VSIPs), launched in 1996, stand as an exemplary example of our successful cooperation — combining Vietnam’s growth potential with Singapore’s expertise in industrial development, creating sustainable jobs and resilient supply networks.

4. The SMF: Industry Representation
The Singapore Manufacturing Federation, established in 1932, has evolved with Singapore’s economic transformation. Today, we represent over 5,000 member companies, spanning 10 distinct industry groups, from dynamic SMEs to globally recognized multinationals. Our vision is encapsulated in four key pillars under the “S.H.I.P.” framework: Sustainability, Human Capital, Internationalisation, and Productivity, to help companies innovate, grow, and internationalise — with a strong focus on digital transformation, sustainability, and workforce development.

Singapore’s manufacturing sector, contributing about 22% to our GDP, remains resilient and adaptable. Our country’s initiatives, such as the Manufacturing 2030 Plan, aim to increase manufacturing value-add by 50% by 2030, solidifying our position as a global business and innovation hub.

We see strong potential for industry-to-industry collaboration between our two countries, in areas such as:
• Digital Transformation & Smart Manufacturing – Leveraging Singapore’s leadership in Industry 5.0 technologies to help Vietnamese enterprises adopt advanced automation, AI, and data analytics for improved productivity.
• Green Manufacturing & Sustainability – Joint efforts to implement waste-to-energy solutions, advanced recycling, and renewable energy projects in industrial parks.
• Food & Beverage – Combining Vietnam’s rich agricultural resources with Singapore’s advanced processing technology to produce high-value food products for regional export.
• Logistics & Supply Chain Management – Collaborating to develop smart ports, cold chain infrastructure, and regional distribution hubs for faster, fresher, and more efficient movement of goods.

5. Towards a More Integrated ASEAN
Strengthening Singapore–Vietnam cooperation also strengthens ASEAN as a whole. We must accelerate initiatives such as:
• Harmonising standards to make trade seamless.
• Advancing digital economy agreements to enable trusted data flows and e-commerce.
• Enhancing connectivity to boost intra-ASEAN trade and investment.

By working together, ASEAN can remain a dynamic, competitive, and resilient economic bloc — one that not only withstands global uncertainties but thrives in the era of growth.

6. Conclusion
In closing, I thank the Vietnam ASEAN Association for Economic Cooperation Development for this opportunity to speak. Let us continue to build on our strong foundation, harness our complementary strengths, and create even greater opportunities for the businesses and people of Vietnam, Singapore, and the ASEAN region.
