SG vows enhanced bilateral cooperation with the Philippines

The focus will be on security and defence and education.

The Singaporean government vowed to enhance its bilateral cooperation with the Philippines, particularly on security and defence and education.

This was discussed during Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan’s meeting with his Philippine counterpart Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr. on 31 January.

The two diplomats also had a “fruitful exchange of views on regional and international developments, including efforts to uphold ASEAN centrality, unity and credibility, and the situation in Myanmar,” during their meeting.

On tourism and travel, the officials expressed optimism on the restoration of travel links between the two countries once the pandemic situation has eased.

The Philippines will open its borders to fully-jabbed foreign travellers from visa-free countries beginning 10 February, including Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
