NEW DELHI, Sept 10 — Singapore and the United Kingdom on Saturday upgraded bilateral relations to a new “strategic partnership”, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Leaders’ Summit in India.
Both met after the first session of the G20 Summit on Saturday afternoon. This was the first time they met after Mr Sunak became the UK prime minister last October. This includes an unwavering commitment to free trade, international law and the rules-based multilateral system, as well as a shared commitment to peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific, said the declaration.
Singapore is one of the members of the CPTPP, a free trade agreement among 11 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation that was concluded in 2018.
