Singapore holds first economic dialogue with Japan

The two countries engaged in talks about enhancing their bilateral economic cooperation.

Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and its Japanese counterpart held the first Japan-Singapore Economic Dialogue (JSED), where representatives from the public and private sectors of both countries discuss ways to enhance their bilateral economic cooperation and exchange views on international and regional developments.

During the JSED, Singaporean Permanent Secretary of Trade and Industry, Gabriel Lim, and the Vice-Minister for Internal Affairs of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), Hirai Hirode, along with other participants, engaged in talks focused on collaborations between startup ecosystems of both countries, enhancing their supply chain resiliency and sustainability, and promoting the growth of an inclusive and vibrant global digital economy.

They also exchanged ideas on the future direction of the cooperation between the two countries and agreed to hold a second JSED next year.

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.
