Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong Meets with Wang Yi in China | Leaders | Wang Yi
On August 11, 2023 local time, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will meet with visiting member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi.
I believe that China Singapore relations will continue to be at the forefront of China's relations with neighboring countries under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both countries. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. Singapore has applied Eastern values to promote modernization and embarked on a unique path of successful development. China supports Singapore in upholding the will of the people and continuing to develop and prosper.
Li Xianlong asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings to the Chinese leaders, stating that one of the valuable assets left by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew is to work with the older generation of Chinese leaders to lay a solid foundation for the development of New China relations. We will always remember the important enlightenment he brought and inherit the New China friendship. The new side highly praises China's determination and efforts to advance the modernization process, and will jointly promote the continuous progress of New China cooperation and open up a new future for bilateral relations. The world is not peaceful today, and we look forward to major countries playing a leading role and seeking mutual benefit and win-win results. The new side supports ASEAN China to deepen cooperation and jointly maintain regional peace and stable development.
China's development is the growth of peaceful forces and the enhancement of stability factors, which will bring lasting dividends and development opportunities to countries around the world, especially neighboring countries.
Wang Yi said that the United States is unwilling to see emerging countries such as China develop and revitalize due to the need to maintain unipolar hegemony.On the one hand, tearing off the guise of fair competition and coercing other countries to engage in unilateral protectionism against China. These reverse measures will only damage its own credibility and prove to the world that the United States has become the biggest unstable factor in the world today.
During the visit, Wang Yi also met with Singapore's First Deputy Prime Minister Huang Xuncai and Foreign Minister Vivian.
