Beijing (VNA) – Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has expressed hope that Singapore will
support Chinese enterprises who wish to participate in the Singapore-Malaysia
high-speed railway project.

In 2016, Malaysia and Singapore agreed to build a 360-km high-speed rail link between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, which is expected to start operation by December 2026 and cut travel time to about 90 minutes.
At present, six Singaporean businesses have registered to join the project.

They also noted increasing exchanges in culture, social governance, defense, law enforcement and security.-VNA
