On June 10, 2025, Mr. Sun Xi, Assistant Secretary-General for Foreign Affairs of WFA (GPO), held an official meeting with H.E. Tran Phuoc Anh, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the Republic of Singapore.

Mr. Sun extended an invitation to Vietnam for the second Global Summit on Sustainable Agriculture. Ambassador Tran Phuoc Anh responded positively, expressing willingness to help invite relevant Vietnamese institutions. The two sides also discussed the prospect of co-hosting the Summit in Vietnam in the future, as well as cooperation possibilities like business tours for agricultural trade and investment.

Preparations for the second GSSA are underway, scheduled to open in Haikou, China, in early December.

Singapore’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Industry, Health, and Information and the Arts, H.E. George Yeo, served as the special guest.
