Imagine leveling up the world's cheat codes for trade and cooperation – you'd get a global order where everyone wins. That's the vibe at a recent meeting in Singapore, where the Chinese premier Li Qiang and Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong plotted their next moves.
Here's the highlight reel: the Chinese mainland will dive into major initiatives championed by President Xi Jinping to make global rules fairer. It's all about stronger UN teamwork, pushing back on unilateral moves and protectionist traps, and keeping free trade alive like your favorite binge-worthy series. 🌐✨
Remember that Beijing hangout in June when Xi met Wong? It set the game plan for the next phase: keeping political trust solid, boosting real-world projects, and using that friendship fuel to power both nations' modernization missions – while also cheering on regional peace and stability.
Next up on the roster? The Chinese mainland's 15th Five-Year Plan – fresh strategies cooked up at the Fourth Plenary Session – to guide development for the next five years and beyond. Singapore is on board for key collabs like Suzhou Industrial Park and Tianjin Eco-City, plus next-gen fields:
- Digital economy & AI 🤖
- Green economy & new energy 🌱
- Biomedicine breakthroughs 💉
- Third-party partnerships 🌍
Li Qiang also sent an open invite to more Singaporean businesses: 'Come invest with us!' And he hopes Singapore will keep backing Chinese mainland enterprises in the city-state's vibrant market.
It's not just business – there's heart too. Both sides want to swap tips on social welfare, jobs, culture, tourism, education, media, and youth programs. It's all about boosting mutual understanding and making friendship that much stronger. 🌟🤝
