In recent years, cooperation on emergency management between the two countries has been continuously strengthened.

We will enhance talent exchanges and technological cooperation, share experience and best practice in areas such as monitoring and early warning of natural disasters, prevention of safety risks in key industries and fields, as well as application of new emergency rescue equipment, technologies, materials and tactics. We will deepen exchanges and mutual learning, and continuously promote cooperation on emergency management between China and Singapore in a deep and practical way.

He said that Singapore is willing to closely collaborate with China, deepen exchanges and mutual learning in areas such as construction of disaster prevention, mitigation and relief systems, and emergency preparedness and handling. Singapore is willing to expand broader cooperation space with China and promote cooperation on emergency management between the two countries to a new level.
