Singapore, US ink nuclear cooperation agreement

They have been collaborating on nuclear issues over the past decade.

The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement, commonly known as a “123 Agreement”, based on a mutual commitment to nuclear nonproliferation.

This contract will deepen nuclear cooperation that is consistent with the highest international standards of safety, security, and nonproliferation.

The agreement was inked by Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan and US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken. 

Singapore and the US have been closely collaborating on nuclear matters over the past decade, including in regional and multilateral fora. 

Since 2017, the National Environment Agency and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission have had arrangements, and most recently held a joint workshop in July 2024 under this arrangement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
