SINGAPORE: In Peru, where the APEC meeting is currently going on, Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo met the President of the Inter-American Development Bank, Luis Alberto Moreno, on Friday.
The two leaders discussed a broad range of issues, including the global financial crisis and closer co-operation between Singapore and the Bank on projects in the Latin American region.
The financial meltdown was also a hot topic when Mr Yeo participated in a forum at the APEC CEO Summit earlier in the day.
Mr Yeo noted that after the global financial crisis was over, Asia would play a greater role in a new multi-polar world.
Mr Yeo joins Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who will attend the 16th APEC Economic Leader's Meeting on November 22 and 23. - CNA/vm
