S’poreans love travelling to Japan. How about studying or working there, asks Lawrence Wong
Asean currently has CSP arrangements with China, Australia, the United States and India. This is the highest-tier partnership Asean has with external partners, and paves the way for enhanced cooperation in a wide range of areas.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Wong described this upgrade as a “significant milestone... shows the commitment and the intention of both sides to really deepen our relationship further”. “Of course, it cannot just be a change in names. We have to add substance to this,” he said, citing nascent areas of cooperation such as digital and sustainability.
He added: “We hope that Singapore in many ways can be a catalyst and a pathfinder for stronger ties between Japan and Asean.”Yesterday, I had a fruitful day in Tokyo! Attended a heartwarming gathering with Singaporeans living in Japan, where I heard many interesting stories about their experiences overseas. It's always great to catch up with our citizens and bond over our shared heritage. Also visited the Chiyoda Corporation Koyasu Office & Research Park today.
