Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Kenneth Goh on growing Singapore’s development partners
In a more contested and volatile world, Singapore must build coalitions not only through trade and security, but through development partnerships, said NMP Kenneth Goh in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). With credibility rooted in experience, the country has an obligation and strategic interest in mutual knowledge-sharing with fellow small states, middle powers and regional neighbours, he said. He asked how Singapore is strengthening sustained capacity-building platforms and talent exchanges, not just in education and work, but in sports and arts as well.
