SINGAPORE - Singapore will offer the United States the use of one of its tanker aircraft to airlift evacuees from Afghanistan, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday (Aug 23).
He said this during a press conference at the Istana with US Vice-President Kamala Harris, who is in Singapore until Tuesday.
The two leaders had met to reaffirm the excellent state of bilateral relations as well as to discuss several issues, including defence and cyber security.
Singapore’s offer of the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s (RSAF) A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (A330 MRTT) to help with evacuation efforts comes after Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, fell to the Taleban on Aug 15.
