China-Singapore relations model for the region: Xi Jinping appeared on tvpworld.com by pol_IN_eng.
Relations between China and Singapore have set a benchmark for countries in the region, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during talks in Beijing on Friday.
China is willing to work with Singapore in further building new “channels” by land and sea, Xi told Lee, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
The warm words for Lee came amid increased strains between China and Western nations, especially the United States, over issues ranging from the Ukraine war to human rights.
During the meeting, Xi said hegemony and bullying must be opposed and that no other nation should be allowed to deprive Asian people of their right to pursue a better life, without naming any third country.
Singapore’s PM was quick to praise China and its power in the local media.
“Other countries must be able to accept that China today is not what China used to be,” Lee told CCTV in an interview ahead of his visit.
“It is much more prosperous, its contribution to the world economy is much more, and its voice in international affairs is much more.”
Lee also posted highlights of his successful visit to Beijing on Twitter.

China and Singapore aim to sign an upgraded free trade agreement within this year based on negotiations initiated by a protocol signed in 2018, according to a joint statement of the two countries published on the website of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday.
China is Singapore’s largest trading partner, while the island-state is China’s biggest foreign investor.
Lee’s visit to Beijing was his first trip to China since 2019, before the global COVID pandemic broke out.
