The officials briefed Ambassador CdeBaca on the inter-agency processes, policies, legislation and practical measures Singapore has in place to prevent TIP, protect TIP victims and prosecute TIP offenders. They also had a good discussion with Ambassador CdeBaca and his delegation on the challenges facing Singapore as a destination country, as well as regional and international initiatives to combat TIP. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to continue combating TIP and agreed to enhance information exchanges on anti-TIP measures.
