Vietnam and Brunei established diplomatic ties on February 29, 1992. Bilateral economic, trade and investment cooperation has made big strides with two-way trade jumping from 24.2 million USD in 2010 to 73.7 million USD in 2015. The figure hit 17 million USD as of June 2016. The President’s trip to Singapore from August 28-30 is crucial and meaningful, said Vietnamese Ambassador to Singapore Nguyen Tien Minh.
