The two sides decided to upgrade the Việt Nam - Singapore relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. They pledged to continue consolidating and strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation, political trust, and coordinating to resolve current common challenges on the basis of respect for international law, independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political institutions of each country, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, thereby bringing practical benefits to the two countries’ people as well as for a united, self-reliant Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with a central and inclusive role, striving to for peace, stability and development of the region and the world.

Discussing new developments in the East Sea (internationally known as the South China Sea), the two sides reaffirmed the need to continue strengthening political trust, calling on all relevant parties to settle disputes on the basis of international law, especially the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Both sides reaffirmed that the 1982 UNCLOS sets out the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out and is of strategic importance as the basis for national, regional, and global action and cooperation in the marine sector, and that its integrity needs to be maintained.
On this occasion, the Vietnamese Party chief sincerely thanked the Government and people of Singapore for their warm welcome given to the delegation. He respectfully invited PM Wong to visit Việt Nam at an appropriate time and the Singaporean leader accepted the invitation with pleasure.
Lâm's first visit to Singapore as Party General Secretary marked a new step forward in the bilateral relations and demonstrated Việt Nam's desire to promote relations with Singapore to new heights, in accordance with its foreign policies and guidelines. — VNS
