Chinese Premier Li Qiang will make his first official visit to Singapore from Oct 25 to 26 at the invitation of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

- Kok Yufeng Correspondent

This marks the first trip to Singapore by a Chinese premier in seven years, after former premier Li Keqiang visited the Republic in 2018.

“Together with Prime Minister Wong’s official visit to China in June this year, this exchange of official visits celebrates the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and China in 2025 and reflects our excellent bilateral ties,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement on Oct 24.

Mr Li will receive a ceremonial welcome on Oct 25 and have a bilateral meeting with PM Wong.

The two leaders will then witness the exchange of several memorandums of understanding and agreements relating to green development, the digital economy, as well as training and development, MFA said.

On Oct 26, Mr Li will call on Acting President Eddie Teo, who is chairman of the Council of Presidential Advisers, as President Tharman Shanmugaratnam is overseas on leave.
