WASHINGTON - Singapore and the United States are expanding their relationship to new frontiers of bilateral cooperation in cyber security, climate change, and space, said Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan on Friday, after a bilateral meeting hosted by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
He noted that Singapore is also a critical security partner, “hosting American ships and aircraft, sending pilots to train in the skies above Arizona and Idaho”. “The fact that President Biden attended the Asean summit in Pnom Penh last year, and the President also hosted the Aseab-US Special Summit in Washington in May last year… sent a very strong signal of engagement,” he said.
“And… there is in fact a deep reservoir of goodwill and trust, and you have many partners in the Asia-Pacific,” he said.Asean is at the heart of the US’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, Mr Blinken reiterated. “This is a very important and critical moment, not just for the United States and China but, indeed, the rest of the world will be watching,” he said.
