Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Manpower and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sam Tan led the Singapore delegation to the 19th Singapore-Kagoshima Conference (SKC) held in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan on 11 January 2018. The Japanese delegation was led by Governor of Kagoshima Prefecture His Excellency Satoshi Mitazono.

During the Conference, MOS Tan and Governor Mitazono reaffirmed the warm and longstanding relationship between Singapore and Kagoshima over the years. The participants had a fruitful discussion on how to further promote economic exchanges and strengthen people-to-people ties between Singapore and Kagoshima. Both sides agreed to deepen cooperation in a wide range of areas including trade, tourism, youth and cultural exchanges.

Established in 1982, the SKC aims to promote cooperation between Singapore and Kagoshima Prefecture. It is the longest-running forum of its kind that Singapore has with a Japanese prefecture.
