/ world today news/ In an interview with the China Media Group, the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong recently expressed his congratulations on the successful holding of the annual sessions of the National People’s Congress and the NC of the Communist Party of China, as well as the re-election of Xi Jinping as the President of the People’s Republic of China. He said that in the speeches of the Chinese leaders, the direction of China’s future development was clarified. The Singapore Prime Minister expects mutually beneficial relations between China and Asian countries to continue.
Li Xianglun praised the development of bilateral relations, which is the result of years of cooperation, mutual trust and understanding. “China and Singapore can resolve differences and continuously increase pragmatic cooperation projects. The infrastructure projects have helped to connect China to countries in Southeast Asia and other regions of the world more quickly. It is also an important contribution to the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative,” Li Xianglun pointed out. He added that “One Belt, One Road” is one of the good initiatives with which China actively participates in regional development and makes its contribution.
Regarding China-ASEAN relations, he said the economic cooperation between China and Singapore is a good example and provides an opportunity for other ASEAN members to strengthen cooperation with China. The economic ties between China and ASEAN also facilitate coordination between the two countries in other areas, such as politics and security, the Singaporean prime minister also said.
“Undoubtedly, China’s development provides enormous benefits to Southeast Asia. China is the largest trading partner of the countries in the region, as well as a huge economic opportunity. Singapore respects the development of relations with China, which is important for the preservation of peace, stability and prosperity of the region and the whole world. I hope all countries will pay attention to Singapore’s position and work together to seize the opportunities and avoid the risks,” Lee Hsien Loong also said.
