REUTERS NEXT - Singapore must develop deeper relationships with China, US, Europe: home affairs minister
Investing.comWednesday, July 9, 2025 at 2:16:29 AM
Singapore's Home Affairs Minister is emphasizing the need for the city-state to strengthen its ties with major global players like China, the US, and Europe. The message is clear: in an increasingly complex world, Singapore can't afford to pick sides—it has to build deeper, more balanced relationships with all of them to stay secure and economically competitive.
Editor’s Note: Singapore has long thrived as a neutral hub for trade and diplomacy, but rising global tensions—especially between the US and China—are forcing it to walk a trickier tightrope. This isn’t just about diplomacy; it’s about survival. If Singapore leans too far one way, it risks alienating key partners. But staying too passive could leave it sidelined. The minister’s comments signal that Singapore knows the stakes and is trying to navigate them carefully.
