COPENHAGEN: Singapore has said it supports the "sentiment, commitment and above all, good faith" of the Copenhagen Accord.

It said the document can be the basis to move the climate change process forward in Copenhagen and beyond.

In a statement presented at the UN Climate Change Summit in the Danish capital, Singapore said it recognised that the document is "not perfect". But nonetheless it "represents important elements which we now face the grave danger of losing".

The statement said Singapore hopes those who object to the accord would reconsider and identify clearly the points of contention or disagreement so that an acceptable compromise can be reached. - CNA/de
