and by diversifying its sources, so that it can cope when any single source is disrupted, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday .

Mr Lee also said that a country can seek redress at the WTO if any rules have been violated, but this will be a long process — and securing the supply of food is an immediate urgency. In response, Mr Lee said economic engagement between the US and the region, and China and the region, should both very much be encouraged.

When asked to elaborate on this, Mr Lee said countries must work together to secure collective security, but in Japan’s case, this is “particularly sensitive because of the war history”. Mr Lee also said that in Southeast Asia, the relationships are “progressing”, but in Northeast Asia, Japan’s relationship with Korea is “difficult” — even more so with China.
