GUANGZHOU, March 30 — Singapore wants to take its relations with China to the “next level”, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday morning, during the third day of his first official trip to China in four years.
He was previously CCP’s propaganda chief and had spent most of his political career in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, where he worked under Xi Jinping before Xi became the country’s president in 2013. He added that based on the “important consensus” between President Xi and Lee, Guangdong will further its co-operation with Singapore.
These ties are anchored by the Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council, as well as projects such as the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City and the Singapore-China Smart City Initiative, “which have spurred innovation-led growth”, it said. This is Lee’s first trip to the city in nearly a decade. He last visited China in April 2019 when he attended the second Belt and Road Forum in Beijing.
On Monday, Lee visited the autonomous driving technology company WeRide, headquartered at the Biotech Island of Guangzhou, before ending the day at a reception with Singaporeans based in Guangzhou.
