SINGAPORE: Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan will be making an official visit to Beijing from Sunday (Jun 11) to Jun 12, at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
Apart from meeting Mr Wang, Dr Balakrishnan will call on Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, according to Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in a statement on Saturday.
Good that China and Singapore relationship is warm and trusting.
Hopefully, eventually, China and Singapore can understand and accept one another's position, vulnerabilities, concern - and collaborate and cooperate even more closely to prosper, grow together in a peaceful environment.
Wrong man to b foreign minister when the China-Singapore damage needed a Singapore chinaman to b foreign minister. A baldakrishnan does not Jel with a super power china, even though bala would b all out to b China's yes man sincerely to repair the damage coz the Chinese will treat him s an American "running dog" . Mayb we should not comment coz Singapore government always "know what to do" . Lower ranking Singapore chinamen will have no effect coz the Chinese will b forced to talk to a bala who is everything "American "
When Singapore step up good relationship with China, America not happy. When Singapore step up good relationship with US, China not happy.
But Singapore is a Sovereign State - and it is the best interest for Singapore to step up and maintain good relationship with both China and US - and can be an honest broker if China and US is locked in conflict.
Both China and US know that - Singapore is indeed an honest broker - as Singapore stand and position is transparent, consistent, rational and trustworthy.
