SINGAPORE - China's Belt and Road Initiative plays an important role in Asia's future, but peace has become more"brittle" and so it is important to preserve the stability that has enabled the region to prosper in the past few decades, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.

The theme of this year's summit is Heralding a New Chapter: Collaborate and Innovate. The annual summit is an international platform for senior government officials and business leaders to share insights and promote collaboration surrounding the Belt and Road Initiative - a global infrastructure project started by the Chinese government in 2013.

As a financial centre, Singapore has been playing a constructive role with a full suite of professional services offerings and a good ecosystem of infrastructure players. Singapore has also strengthened mechanisms for international commercial dispute resolution, and both the World Bank and Asian Development Bank have operations in Singapore to support development, he said.

He added that beyond infrastructure, there are opportunities for collaboration such as developing clean energy and decarbonisation solutions.
