Hey there, global explorers! 🌍 Guess what? China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi just had a super important meetup with Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan in Beijing this Monday! 🤝✨
In a world that's getting a bit chaotic, Wang Yi said that China and Singapore are like two steady ships 🛳️🛳️ keeping things cool. They chatted about how both countries can team up even more, sharing strategies and cool ideas to make the world a better place. How awesome is that? 😎
Both China and Singapore have big plans this year! They're working hard to reach their national goals, and guess what? They're helping each other out! 🤗 Wang Yi mentioned that by learning from one another, they're giving a big boost to their modernization journeys. Talk about teamwork! 🏆
China is super keen to sync up with Singapore's development plans. They're all about that high-quality, future-focused partnership their leaders set up. Together, they want to bring peace, stability, and happiness to the region. Sounds like a dream team, right? 🌟
They also talked about making the most of their visa-free travel (hello, more travel pics! 📷✈️), ramping up dialogues at all levels, and building a China-ASEAN community with a shared future. It's all about pooling their strengths and boosting regional integration. Go team Asia! 🌏💪
On the flip side, Minister Balakrishnan said Singapore firmly sticks to the one-China policy and opposes \"Taiwan independence.\" He shared that Singapore is super excited for next year's 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations! 🎉 They're gearing up for high-level exchanges and want to take their cooperation to the next level. Level up! 🚀
He also gave a shoutout to the successful 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. (Talk about thinking ahead! 😉) He believes this brings new chances for the Global South to shine brighter than ever. 🌞 Singapore is all in for free trade, more investments between China and ASEAN, and upholding the global trading system with the WTO at its core. Economics nerds, rejoice! 📈🌐
Both sides agreed to keep in touch and work together to make upcoming leaders' meetings on East Asia cooperation a big success. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🙌
