Busy weekend meeting visitors here for the Shangri-La Dialogue. A good way to keep in touch with ministers from countries big (US) and small (Tonga), far away (France) and near (Indonesia).
These informal exchanges help build mutual understanding and trust, and contribute to peace and stability for Singapore and Asia. – LHL
