BEIJING: Innovation is likely to be a major theme not only for Singapore’s economic transformation, but also for the country’s cooperation with China and the broader region, said Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat on Sunday (Nov 26).
Speaking to Singapore media at the end of a five-day visit to Suzhou and Beijing, Mr Heng said the promotion of innovation is something Chinese leaders at the provincial and central government level have given a lot of thought to, and was a topic that came across “very strongly” at all meetings.
