Trust and understanding in Singapore-China relationship 'cannot be taken for granted': Lawrence Wong
SINGAPORE: The relationship between Singapore and China has continued to deepen and grow because it is a partnership built on a 'deep level of mutual respect, trust and understanding', said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at his meeting with Chinese premier Li Qiang at the Great Hall of the People on Monday afternoon (Jun 23). 'This deep level of trust and understanding cannot be taken for granted. It has to be cultivated, nurtured year after year, generation after generation,' said Mr Wong, adding that his team is 'fully committed' to strengthening their interactions and exchanges with their counterparts in China. This is Mr Wong's first visit to China as Singapore's prime minister, commemorating the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and China. The current international landscape is marked by intertwined turbulence and changes, with increasing uncertainty and instability, said the Chinese premier during the meeting, adding that it is especially vital for China and Singapore to strengthen cooperation and exchanges. 'The Chinese side is willing to work together with the Singaporean side, in light of the new changes in the situation, with a view to safeguarding our shared interests, upholding the fine tradition of mutual respect, mutual trust, equality, and win-win cooperation, and advancing bilateral relations and collaboration to bear even more fruitful outcomes,' said Mr Li. On Monday, Mr Wong was welcomed at the Great Hall of the People, and will attend a dinner banquet hosted by Mr Li. The two last met in October 2024 on the sidelines of multilateral meetings.

Important to continue nurturing trust and understanding, PM Wong tells Chinese Premier
- On his first visit to China as Singapore's Prime Minister, Mr Lawrence Wong told his Chinese counterpart that he hopes to continue nurturing trust and understanding between both countries' leaders, the foundation of their bilateral relationship. At a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Beijing on June 23, Mr Wong said that the relationship between China and Singapore has continued to deepen and grow because it is a partnership built on a deep level of mutual respect, trust and understanding. 'This deep level of trust and understanding cannot be taken for granted. It has to be cultivated, nurtured year after year, generation after generation,' he said. 'I look forward myself to having this rapport and trust with you, Premier Li, so that we can continue to take our relationship forward and forge even closer ties,' he said. Mr Li, for his part, noted that Mr Wong made China the first country for his introductory visit outside of Asean after winning the General Election in May. 'This reflects the importance the new Singapore government places on the China-Singapore relationship,' Mr Li said. Mr Wong told Mr Li he has brought some new members of his government to visit China with him. 'I'm encouraging everyone in my Cabinet to continue to visit China regularly so that we can continue to build and strengthen the close ties between our two countries,' he said. Among the new officials accompanying Mr Wong are Acting Transport Minister and Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow and Member of Parliament Dr Syed Harun Alhabsyi, both of whom entered politics during the May 2025 elections. Other members of the delegation include Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu and Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs Sim Ann. Both leaders in their remarks addressed the turbulent global situation and the need to work together amid the turmoil. Mr Li pointed out that the world is full of change and chaos, with uncertainties and instabilities on the rise. 'Against this backdrop, I feel that it is especially crucial for China and Singapore, which are friendly and close neighbours, and important partners, to strengthen cooperation and exchanges.' Mr Wong agreed: 'As you said just now, because we are living in a more uncertain and turbulent world, we should together find ways to cooperate not just between ourselves, but also in regional and multilateral platforms.' Mr Wong last held formal talks with Mr Li in October 2024 in Vientiane, Laos, on the sidelines of the Asean Summit. More recently, they had a brief exchange in May in Kuala Lumpur during the Asean-GCC-China Summit, which brought together Asean members, Middle Eastern countries and China. During this visit to China, Mr Wong will also meet President Xi Jinping and National People's Congress chairman Zhao Leji on June 24.
