HANOI, Vietnam: Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew sees Singapore forging a long-term win-win relationship with Vietnam.
He said that while Vietnam is eager to learn from Singapore, the country also offers growth potential for Singapore companies.
Mr Lee was speaking at the end of his five-day official trip to Vietnam.
Mr Lee said that among the ASEAN countries, Vietnam, with its hardworking and intelligent people, has the most potential for growth.
He said: "And we are happy to help them because we lose nothing. What we take four to five years to learn, we pass over to them in one year, which is a lot of time saved for them.
"Sometimes, what we learn in 20 years, we can show them in one or two years. That is of immeasurable value to them and they know that".
Singapore, on the other hand, can benefit from untapped investment opportunities in Vietnam.
Mr Lee said: "So I see a long-term relationship, 15-20 more years...it will be something like the Singapore-China relationship. As long as we are ahead of them, they will come and learn from us, and we should be ahead of them for quite a long while, unless we of course stagnate, which we can't afford to do. "
Mr Lee observed that Vietnam has made rapid and vast changes since his first visit here more than 15 years ago. Among others, he noted that the Vietnamese people are more knowledgeable about the economy. But most important, he said, is the acceptance level among the people that change is necessary for the economy to develop further.
Mr Lee also spoke about the impact of political transition in neighbouring countries on Singapore.
He said that despite political challenges in countries like Thailand and Malaysia, investments are still heading into the region.
Mr Lee said: "We still get investments because they can see that we are stable, we are different, so they are betting that if they invest in Singapore, our connectivity, not with the immediate region, but with India, China (and) Vietnam, will be beneficial to their expansion in Singapore. So the investments will still be coming in."
When asked about attracting the next generation of political leaders, Mr Lee said that it will not be an easy task.
He said: "Everybody thinks that 'the country is doing well, please leave me out, and I can follow my career, whether it is in banking before the banking collapse, or in IT...'"
He added that with an increasing number of younger Singaporeans working overseas, Singapore has to reach out to these global citizens to attract them to return. - CNA/ms
