Despite the ongoing global uncertainties, the Singapore-China relationship has demonstrated resilience and new progress, noted Edwin Tong, minister for law and second minister for home affairs of Singapore. As global financial and innovation hubs, Singapore and Shanghai can team up in areas of mutual interest, including digital utilities, financial services, tech innovation, urban renewal, law, healthcare, and cultural heritage, he added.
Among the penned deals is one between the China arm of DBS Bank and Guotai Haitong Securities, with Ginger Cheng, chief executive officer of the former, expressing hope that the pair will deepen ties in wealth management, capital markets, and various aspects of the financial market.
In addition, Singapore's CrimsonLogic signed a data trade agreement with Shanghai Data Group.
Shanghai is a major financial center in China and a key hub for port trade, which undoubtedly serves as a critical factor for the collaboration between CrimsonLogic and the data group, noted Chee Boon Lim, vice president of commercial growth and accounts at the Singaporean firm, while expressing hope for replicating this collaborative model in other provinces and regions.
Shanghai International Intellectual Property Operation Management signed a deal with Singapore's Kltan to jointly establish mechanisms for mutual recognition of IP information, mutual trust in assessments, and seamless service connectivity.
