Huang Xuncai: Singapore is confident in the long-term development prospects of China.

Singapore Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat attended the plenary session of the 2026 Boao Forum for Asia annual conference and delivered a speech. He said that China can play a greater role in supporting regional prosperity and stability. China's massive domestic market can serve as a powerful engine for regional economic growth. In the current trend of global fragmentation, the world needs steadfast advocates to defend an open, rule-based trading system. The construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port is a concrete manifestation of China's commitment to openness. Looking ahead, Singapore is confident in China's long-term development prospects, which is why Singapore has been one of China's major sources of foreign investment for more than a decade. As the economies of China and Singapore continue to grow, Singapore will continue to deepen cooperation with China in mutually beneficial areas.
