SEOUL – Singapore and South Korea have agreed to work more closely in a range of areas such as trade, sustainability and defence technology, as the two countries upgrade bilateral ties.On Nov 1, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung jointly launched a strategic partnership between the two countries at the presidential office in Seoul.The strategic partnership has eight agreements, including a pact to establish a green and digital shipping corridor where the two nations will collaborate to support the maritime sector’s transition to zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emission fuels and accelerate digitalisation.At a press conference following the launch, PM Wong noted that the upgrade of ties comes at a significant time, with Singapore and South Korea celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations.When both sides established relations in 1975, the global economy was still recovering from deep turbulence. Yet South Korea and Singapore pressed on and emerged as “Asian Tigers”, he added.
