Viet Nam's exports to Singapore spiked 23 per cent to SGD1.237 billion (US$965 million) over the first five months of this year.

According to Statistics Singapore, four major product groups recorded export values exceeding SGD100 million ($78 million) – machinery, equipment and tools; phones and spare parts; paper and paper products; plus glass and glass products.

Rice and seafood exports were also higher than last year's figures.
