SINGAPORE — Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday, as part of the city-state’s efforts to broaden collaboration with the world’s second-largest economy amid ongoing uncertainly over trade talks with the U.S.
“In this time of global turbulence and uncertainty, I believe the China-Singapore relationship is more important than before,” Wong said during his meeting with Xi, speaking in English. “We can work together to establish closer ties and also to cooperate in regional and multilateral platforms to continue to strengthen multilateralism in the rules-based global order.”
