May 03, Colombo (LNW): Vietnam’s President, Tô Lâm, is set to arrive in Sri Lanka on May 07 for a three-day official visit aimed at enhancing diplomatic and economic cooperation between the two nations.

During his stay, which will run until May 09, President Lâm is expected to engage in high-level discussions with Sri Lankan leaders, focusing on trade, investment opportunities, and regional collaboration.

A key highlight of the visit will be his scheduled address to the Sri Lankan Parliament on May 08, where he is likely to outline Vietnam’s development trajectory and prospects for partnership.

Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies in recent years, recording robust growth figures that have drawn global attention. With strong expansion continuing into 2025 and its economy now valued at over US$500 billion, the country is increasingly seen as a valuable partner for nations seeking to deepen commercial ties in Asia.
