Singapore has been a trusted partner of the US for inclusive multilateral cooperation. Our countries share common interests in upholding an open and rules-based global security and economic order.
Our strong bilateral ties are underpinned by our close economic relations:
Singapore is home to nearly 5,500 US companies.
Singapore is the second largest Asian investor in the US.
Singapore’s investments in the US and US exports to Singapore, support more than a quarter million American jobs.
Was glad to join
The American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and Ambassador Jonathan Kaplan at the AmCham CARES Awards 2022 yesterday. I spoke on the importance of US sustaining global leadership by:
Staying true to their values
Advancing the importance of an open and inclusive global economy
Demonstrating not the example of their power, but the power of their example.
My speech also outlined opportunities for our two countries to broaden and deepen our partnership:
Singapore’s universities have long maintained a global outlook and inclusive posture. We are open to learning from the best ideas in the world, including collaborating with top-notch American companies and universities.
Singapore can be the platform of choice for American scholars, business leaders and the next generation of change-makers to understand Asia and connect with this region.
By being an aggregator for smaller businesses, US companies can open the door to internship and short-term exchange opportunities for students and mid-career workers in Singapore, and build a talent pipeline.
May our mutually beneficial partnership growth from strength to strength for years to come.
