Within the framework of the visit to Singapore Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan had a meeting with Singapore's President Tony Tan
Keng Yam. The interlocutors discussed the cooperation between the two
countries in different spheres and the perspectives of intensification
of the political dialogue.
According to the President of Singapore, although the two countries
established diplomatic relations 20 years ago, the Armenian-Singaporean
ties have a history of more than 150 years: Armenians printed the
first newspaper in Singapore and founded the first Christian church.
Serzh Sargsyan said "Singapore is a successful example of rapidly
developed state for many countries, including Armenia.
The two Presidents spoke about the cooperation in the fields of
education, science, civil service, as well as the application of
Singapore's experience in Armenia.
During the meeting with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong the parties
referred to the reinforcement of bilateral economic ties.
According to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, small countries do
not decide the orbit of international relations, but follow the
international rules. He is convinced that the size of the country
cannot be an obstacle for development.
The Armenian President met with representatives of the most influential
corporations and businesses of Singapore. The perspectives of making
investments in Armenia were discussed. The Singaporean businessmen
are particularly interested in cooperation with Armenia in the fields
of information technologies, telecommunication, healthcare, urban
development, construction of HPPs and water resource management.
Armenian businessmen will visit Singapore in the near future to turn
the intentions into more concrete programs.
