Deputy Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son congratulated the ambassador on his honour, saying that it is a recognition of his dedication to fostering the Vietnam – Singapore strategic partnership.

During his tenure, Ng Tech Hean has made significant contributions to promoting bilateral ties on all the Party, government, State, National Assembly and people-to-people exchange channels, as well as accelerating the construction of the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park.

The ambassador expressed his delight at the development of bilateral ties across all areas.
