BEIJING – Countries need to draw closer, and “build bridges and not walls” to navigate shared challenges from pandemics to climate change, said Mr Chan Chun Sing on Tuesday.

The Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing was speaking at the opening ceremony of the Singapore-China Forum on Leadership in Beijing. He noted that with both countries having upgraded their bilateral relationship recently, they can explore new and deeper ways to work together. Mr Chan, who is also Education Minister, is co-hosting the forum with Mr Li Ganjie, Minister of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Organisation Department .

“Looking ahead, these projects can be refreshed to trailblaze new development models of ‘high quality growth’ and experiment innovative approaches of governance,” Mr Chan said. Both sides have also concluded negotiations to upgrade the China-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, which will provide for more business-friendly, liberal and transparent rules.

The world’s second-largest economy will continue on its trajectory of a peaceful rise, moving towards modernisation while embracing multilateralism, he said.
