Munich Security Conference: Chan Chun Sing on Singapore’s role in a divided world
Singapore Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing says Singapore’s role in a more divided world is to find common ground where it can, carefully navigating where it cannot. Speaking to CNA in an exclusive interview at the Munich Security Conference, he said staying relevant means building real capabilities and understanding the major powers and their motivations. Only then, he says, can Singapore add value and remain a trusted partner, especially when many security challenges transcend geographical boundaries. Sabrina Ng reports.
