VietNamNet Bridge – Viet Nam is willing to cooperate with
Singapore in extradition, judicial assistance, and training of law enforcement
officers amidst an increasingly complicated situation in the region.
President Truong Tan Sang made
the statement while receiving Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister, Coordinating
Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs Teo Chee Hean in
Ha Noi yesterday, Aug 27, who is visiting Viet Nam to sign a cooperation
agreement on transnational crime prevention and investigation.
Highly valuing the Singaporean
Ministry of Home Affairs' support, the President suggested the ministry
continue deepening relations between the two countries and sectors.
In the future, both sides should
continue promoting the implementation of commitments in their cooperation
documents and proposal studies on cooperation contents, Sang said, before
adding that Viet Nam was pleased at the results of the socio-economic and
political-security cooperation between the two countries.
Sang also said he highly valued
Singapore's role in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its
consistent stance on issues of common concern.
Teo Chee Hean affirmed that the
two countries' traditional ties and the recent signing of cooperation
agreements between the two security sectors had contributed to strengthening
and tightening ties between Singapore and Viet Nam, and agreed that the two
countries needed to maintain activities to enhance their strategic partnership.
He affirmed ASEAN's importance
for both countries, saying that while facing a rapidly changing world, an ASEAN
of solidarity and unity with a consensus of each member country would make the
community in Southeast Asia strong.
The Singaporean leader said his
country would commit to making unceasing contributions toward building
diplomatic ties with Viet Nam.
Earlier in the day, Teo Chee Hean
and the Minister of Public Security Sen-Lieut. Gen. Tran Dai Quang also held
talks.
Quang said he hoped Hean's visit
would open a new stage of development in relations and cooperation between the
Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the Singapore Ministry of Home
Affairs through the signing of an extension for the cooperation agreement on
transnational crime prevention and investigation.
The Singaporean leader said he
wished the two ministries would continue their successful efforts in the fight
against crime.
