On the second day of the Shangri-La Dialogue, Singapore's defence minister said that he is hopeful China and the US will resume physical meetings.

The relationship between the US and China is at its lowest point in years, as they remain deeply divided over issues like Taiwan to espionage and territorial disputes in the South China Sea.Tensions between Beijing and Taipei have risen dramatically afterfollowing then-US house speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island.

He told reporters that both sides had talked to him independently and that he could share the US and China want a resumption, but Singapore would leave it to them as to when and how that can be done. "Nobody has said, ‘I don't want to talk’. They may have said, 'Well, there are preconditions that have not been satisfied.' But that's very different.
