Singaporean Leader Vows to Help's Korean Pres Devise Vision
SEOUL, Oct 31 Asia Pulse - Singaporean Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong on Friday agreed to serve as an adviser to South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, helping the Lee government map out its future vision and cope with global issues, the presidential office said.
Goh, who served as the prime minister of Singapore between 1990 and 2004, is in Seoul after attending the World Leaders Forum hosted by the Korean government on Thursday in commemoration of its 60th founding anniversary.
Lee and Goh met at the presidential office, Cheong Wa Dae, to exchange views on the ongoing global financial crisis and closer cooperation between South Korea and Southeast Asian nations, said Cheong Wa Dae in a statement.
"Lee took note of many similarities between South Korea and Singapore, including their brilliant economic growth, and stressed the importance of closer relations between the two countries," said the statement.
"In addition, the president urged closer policy cooperation between South Korea and members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in overcoming the world financial crisis and pursuing mutual prosperity."
In response, Goh commended the South Korean government for its remarkable development in both democracy and economy, and expressed strong interest in the Lee government's campaign for national advancement.
President Lee's international advisory group was launched in June with 15 world-renowned scholars, statesmen and entrepreneurs from 11 countries across the world.
Its key members include Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, French scholar Guy Sorman, World Economic Forum chairman Klaus Schwab and Harvard University President Lawrence Summers.
Michael E. Porter, a professor at the Harvard Business School, Infosys Technologies (BSE:504810) chairman Narayana Murthy, Brookings Institution chairman John L. Thornton and Troika Dialog Group chairman Ruben Vardanian became new members of the advisory group in October.
