Heng Swee Keat: Reinvigorating Singapore-China Ties Through New Areas of Collaboration

Singapore and China enjoy a longstanding partnership, anchored on the strong ties between our peoples and successive generations of leaders. On Tuesday, we will welcome Vice Premier Han Zheng to Singapore for the 18th Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC), which is the annual apex bilateral forum between our two countries.

Vice Premier Han is the most senior Chinese leader to visit Singapore since the outbreak of Covid-19. His visit is an opportunity for our countries to take stock of our bilateral cooperation and chart the course for building a more prosperous future for our peoples in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
