This is Mr Lee’s first trip to China since he stepped down as prime minister in May.
SINGAPORE – Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong is visiting China from Nov 24 to 29 and he will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Suzhou Industrial Park , a project he helped to steer at its beginning.
The senior Mr Lee visited China 33 times from 1976 to 2011. In 1994, the then Senior Minister travelled to Beijing to sign an agreement to start a township with industrial, commercial, housing and recreational sectors in Suzhou, a former capital of China. As cooperation between both countries deepened, the Joint Steering Council later grew into the Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation , the top-level platform that meets annually to discuss a wide range of collaborations, including the SIP.
It also said that SM Lee will speak at a roundtable on “High Quality Development in the SIP”, visit a 30-Year SIP “achievement exhibition”, participate in a tree-planting ceremony, and visit the exhibition centres of new joint projects by Singapore companies in the industrial park.
