Singapore’s priority is to enhance bilateral relations with Vietnam, especially during the complicated regional and global situation, Foreign Minister of Singapore Vivian Balakrishnan has said.

Experts have said that Vietnam should open its door for vaccinated foreign travelers at the same time as Thailand (on July 1) or even earlier.

The vaccine passport, called digital green pass by EU, is seen as a new move to ensure safety for people travelling cross border.

Vietnam vows to pursue the twin goal of containing Covid-19 and developing the economy to serve the recovery plans.

Vietnam has pursued a policy that testing and treating confirmed coronavirus cases are free of charge.
