BEIJING - Singapore will work with China to increase direct flights between the two countries, as part of efforts to grow business and people-to-people ties, Acting Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat said on Saturday.

“We will work with our Chinese counterparts to try and see how we can move forward, and to have more direct flights to benefit our businesses and our people,” he told the audience at the event organised by the Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China. Mr Chee, who is also Senior Minister of State for Finance and co-chairman of the Singapore Shandong Business Council, is on his first visit to China since 2019.

In 2020, Shandong was Singapore’s fifth-largest Chinese destination for investment, after the provinces of Jiangsu and Guangdong, and the municipalities of Shanghai and Chongqing.
