China's top legislator Zhao Leji on Thursday met with Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who was in Boao, south China's Hainan Province, to attend the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2026.
At the meeting, Zhao, chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, said that under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both countries, fresh progress has been continuously made in advancing an all-round high-quality future-oriented partnership between the two countries.
Last year, on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, President Xi Jinping held a meeting with Prime Minister Wong during his official visit to China, providing strategic guidance for the development of China-Singapore relations under the new circumstances, Zhao recalled.
China is ready to work with Singapore to strengthen the political foundation of bilateral relations, deepen high-level cooperation in economy and trade, science and technology, humanities, legislation and other fields, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, enhance people-to-people bonds, join hands to advance each other's modernization processes, jointly uphold international fairness and justice, and contribute to peace and prosperity in the region and the world, Zhao said.
For his part, Wong reaffirmed Singapore's commitment to the one-China principle and its opposition to Taiwan separatism.
Singapore is willing to deepen cooperation with China in areas including the economy, free trade port development, emerging sectors, legislation and people-to-people exchanges, in the interest of the two peoples, he said.
