S'pore, Indonesia to continue talks to expand air, sea travel to more destinations in Indonesia: PM Lee

a two-way one, hopefully without taking too long, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Tuesday .

"But we have to take into account the Covid-19 situation, in particular the outbreak of the Omicron variant, and we will do so at a pace that both sides are comfortable with, taking into account our respective public health situations," he added. Mr Widodo added that both countries are currently finalising cooperation on vaccine recognition and on aligning the interoperability of their platforms for tracking and protecting individuals against the virus.

Under the arrangement, travellers from Singapore are allowed to enter Indonesia for a holiday at resorts on the two islands via Nongsapura ferry terminal in Batam and Bandar Bentan Telani ferry terminal in Bintan. However, they have to remain within the resort throughout the duration of their stay.
