SINGAPORE: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday the republic is investing heavily in the research and development on Covid-19 diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics while at the same time building up its vaccine manufacturing capacity.
Lee said Singapore's researchers are also developing therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, as well as a vaccine, and have started clinical trials of various therapeutics.

He expressed his hope that the summit will help focus the minds and resources, and forge partnerships to promote 'vaccine multilaterism'.
