US Vice President Kamala Harris on August 20 (Washington time) departed for Singapore and Viet Nam.

This is the second overseas trip of Harris as vice president of the US.

Harris will visit Singapore for three days from August 22, during which she is scheduled to hold talks with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on August 23, and deliver a speech the following day, underscoring the importance of partnerships and areas for further cooperation.

She will then fly to Viet Nam.

Last month, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines, becoming the first member of Biden's Cabinet to visit Southeast Asia.
