Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Thursday that
Singapore hopes to further cooperate with south China's Guangdong
Province and the Pan-Pearl River Delta area.
During his meeting with the Governor of Guangdong Province, Huang Huahua, Lee said economic and trade
cooperation between Singapore and Guangdong have developed well, as
over a score of Guangdong enterprises are now listed in
Singapore.
According to statistics from China Customs, annual import and
export between Singapore and Guangdong has reached US$10 billion,
accounting for 30 percent of the total volume between the two
nations.
The Singaporean Prime Minister will also visit Chengdu, capital
of southwest China's Sichuan Province later this week.
Lee is in China for the China-ASEAN commemorative summit
scheduled for October 30-31 in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
