<<In 2019,China-Singapore economic cooperation has made important progress in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. In terms of overall cooperation,the upgraded China-Singapore Free Trade Agreement took effect on October 16. On key projects,the Chinese government has published the Master Plan of Western New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor,marking the elevation of it into a national strategy. The two sides will take advantage of this opportunity to increase investment in the project and play its strategic role as a link between the Belt and Road Initiative. As for connectivity,by the end of 2020,the two countries had signed 260 connectivity projects with a total value of over US $33.8 billion. At the same time,the future economic cooperation between China and Singapore will also face challenges such as worsening geopolitical security situation and rampant trade protectionism,which call for closer coordination and joint response.
