We were honoured to have Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs, as Guest of Honour at the Business China Special Speaker Series. In her opening remarks on the theme “Strengthening Ties in a Changing World: Singapore and Northeast Asia”, SMS spoke about the importance of expanding Singapore’s circle of partners beyond ASEAN and deepening ties with China, South Korea, and Japan. This was followed by a moderated dialogue with Mr Lim Yin Ming, where SMS shared further reflections on Singapore’s engagement with partners across Northeast Asia.
The event also featured a panel discussion with Mr Lim Yin Ming, Dr Lam Peng Er and Mr Giam Meng Tuck, who shared their perspectives on current regional developments and Singapore’s relations with Northeast Asia.
More than 150 participants joined the session, including Chinese community and business leaders, entrepreneurs, and youths from different sectors.
