HO CHI MINH CITY -- Vietnam is considering an upgrade to its diplomatic ties with Singapore, putting the city-state in the top diplomatic echelon, on par with China and Russia.

Hosting Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday, Vietnam said the countries are weighing a comprehensive strategic partnership. That would be one rung up from their current strategic partnership, a status that the U.S. also is looking to establish with Vietnam, with President Joe Biden tentatively slated to visit next month.
