Vice Premier Zhang and DPM Teo co-chaired the 10th JCBC, 15th Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) Joint Steering Council (JSC) and 6th Tianjin Eco-city (TEC) JSC meetings on the morning of 22 October. Vice Premier Zhang also called on President Tony Tan Keng Yam and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and was hosted to lunch by DPM Tharman Shanmugaratnam and dinner by Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong.

During the meetings, our leaders and Vice Premier Zhang affirmed the close and multi-faceted ties between Singapore and China. They endorsed the important role that the JCBC and major bilateral projects, including the SIP and TEC, play in deepening and expanding bilateral cooperation. The leaders also exchanged views on how Singapore can participate in China’s regional development strategies, and how both sides can share experiences on economic transformation and expand cooperation in existing and new areas such as modern services, financial services, human resource development, inclusive growth and sustainable development.
