HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Tô Lâm on Thursday visited the Pasir Panjang port in Singapore to study seaport infrastructure development, as part of his official visit.

Southeast Asia chief executive officer of PSA International Nelson Quek – the operator of Pasir Panjang – greeted the Vietnamese top leader and delegation, and showed them the port’s development processes, achievements and future development strategies.

Pasir Panjang is one of the world-leading ports in terms of automation technology, which is equipped with remote control systems, transport robots and smart management systems that optimise operations, improve efficiency and minimise environmental impact. 

The port is connected to nearly 180 other ports, both large and small, in 45 countries around the world. 

General Secretary Tô Lâm congratulated the port's operators, adding that the maritime transport system and seaport play a crucial role in ensuring Việt Nam’s trade goals. 

He expressed his hope that PSA will cooperate to develop Việt Nam’s seaport system, as Singapore's experience in modernising its seaport system and developing the logistics industry is highly valuable to the nation. 

The top leader proposed sending Vietnamese trainees to Pansir Panjang to learn port operations and management technology.

Responding PSA representatives said they are always willing to share their experiences and enhance cooperation with Việt Nam, and highly appreciate the development potential of the  seaport and logistics industry. — VNS
