Today is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and China.On the day of 1990, the Foreign Minister of the two countries signed a joint communiqué in the United Nations to open a joint diplomacy. The relationship between the two countries was also increasingly wider. After several generations of political leaders, it can be said that it has been promoted from version 1.0 to version 4.0. It has already been promoted to version 4.0.The results of the cooperation are abundant, and the prospects are not limited.
New China relations have a long history. Even before the formal diplomacy, there are frequent economic and trade exchanges. For example, many Singapore merchants have long been a frequent visitor to the Guangzhou Fair in 1957.Li Guangyao, the founding of our country, visited China for the first time as early as 1976. Since then, he has set foot on the land of Shenzhou more than 30 times, and has established an extremely friendly relationship with Chinese leaders.
In 1978, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping visited the new, and a frank conversation with the then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew also opened a new chapter in the development of relations between the two countries.The two sides put aside the burden of ideology, seeking truth from facts, and opened the door to pragmatic cooperation.For a long time since then, China has also sent many officials at all levels to Singapore to investigate and learn on the spot, learn some management experience of the new side, and help for reform and opening up.The so -called sources of drinking water, and China and Singapore have today's friendship. The people of the two countries should remember the indelible achievements of these two leaders.
Singapore is a small country, and China is a behemoth. The reason why one is a small one and a small relationship may be new for a long time, which may summarize several main factors.One is to pursue the principles of international relations that can be equal and mutually emphasis; the second is to achieve mutual benefit and mutual assistance; the third is to continue to keep pace with the times.Because equality treats each other, respects each other, and can build mutual trust; because of mutual benefit and complementary conditions, it can complement each other, achieve win -win, and solid cooperation; because constantly keeping with the times, it can give cooperation a new connotation.New China relations can be regarded as a model of equal and mutually beneficial cooperation in large and small countries.
Beginning in the mid -1990s, Xinzhong started from Suzhou Industrial Park, and cooperation projects and scope have continued to increase and expand. Later, including Tianjin Ecological City, Chongqing Strategic Interconnection Demonstration Project, Guangzhou Intellectual City, Shenzhen Smart City Cooperation, etc.The development of this bilateral cooperation is the true manifestation of President Xi Jinping's visit to the new, and the two sides jointly established a comprehensive partnership with the times.
Looking forward to the future, the prospects of continuous cooperation in Xinzhong are broad.Vice Premier Wang Ruijie pointed out in an exclusive interview with Lianhe Morning Post a few days ago that the two countries have broad cooperation space in terms of maintaining a regular international trade system, finance, technology, and response to population aging.The most urgent at the moment is the prevention and control of the crown disease epidemic.It is gratifying that the two countries have agreed to strengthen cooperation in public health, coronary vaccines and testing.
In addition to resistance, there are urgent matters that both sides must work closely, including the breaks of the world supply chain caused by epidemic and trade protectionism and trade war, and a serious decline in the world economy.To repair the broken world supply chain, it seems that the resistance is very large, and it takes a long time. As a comprehensive partner, the new China and China must benefit and move forward in this regard.Vigorously promoting regional cooperation is the most in line with all national interests.Therefore, in addition to exploring how to deepen bilateral relations, the two countries should also work together to promote the cooperation between Asia's overall cooperation with China, including completing the signing of the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement (RCEP) as soon as possible.
Looking back at the past 30 years, in fact, not only the relationship between the two countries and China is constantly climbing the new level. Since Singapore is a member of the Asia Gyeenal and the world financial center and the transportation hub, it has naturally provided the relationship between China and other Southeast Asian countries.Help.Under the new development situation, Singapore can become the portal of Chinese companies entering the 600 million population market in Asia, and use this as the stronghold to radiate the world.
In addition, Singapore can also lead international multilateral financing cooperation to collect resources to support China's grand Belt and Road Infrastructure construction.
The future of the new China cooperation is indeed full of opportunities. We believe that as long as both governments and people of the two countries can cherish the valuable heritage of the sincere cooperation of their ancestors, and uphold the consistent mutual respect and trust.Together with a new peak, we will usher in the next 30 years with a stronger friendship.
