BEIJING: Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew says Singapore's links with China will strengthen as China's economy continues to grow.
He was speaking to Singaporeans in Beijing during an event held by the Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China (SingCham).
Before Minister Mentor Lee arrived at the reception, SingCham members and guests observed one minute of silence to remember Singapore's late former deputy prime minister Dr Goh Keng Swee.
Mr Lee, who arrived in Beijing on Sunday on the second leg of his visit to China, said there are many business opportunities available to Singaporeans in China.
Mr Lee said: "Their links with us will grow, organisations here like SingCham will also grow. And having a good organisation here will make them come and make new entrance in Singapore."
As Singapore and China celebrate 20 years of bilateral relations this year, SingCham is in discussion with the Singapore Business Federation to set up a Singapore Business Center@SingCham.
It will help more Singapore companies venture into China as well as link Singapore companies in China back to the homeland.
