Singapore- Qatar ties boosted by agreements
The MoUs were inked during the two countries’ sixth High Level Joint Committee (HLJC) held in Singapore on November 14.
Speaking at the event, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
underscored the fine relations between the two countries, with more than
20 MoUs and agreements signed over the five previous committee
meetings.
He said bilateral trade amounts to some 10 billion
SGD per year, and Qatar is Singapore’s third largest trade partner in
the Middle East.
The PM reiterated that Singapore and Qatar
share similar strategic outlooks and still have much more to learn from
each other.
The November 14 discussion will pave the way to
improve the bilateral relations, particularly as the two countries
celebrate 30 years of diplomatic ties next year.-VNA
