'There is a lot of respect for Singapore, for our governance, for our efficiency, for our clean government,” says the outgoing President.
SINGAPORE: In a world where everything is “so unsettled”, it is important to generate trust and goodwill because Singapore’s relationships with other countries were not built in a day, said outgoing President Halimah Yacob in an interview with CNA.
“I met many global leaders, and whether it’s developed countries or developing countries, we do have a brand name. And they do know that when they enter into any negotiations with us, whether it is for economic initiatives or for other kinds of initiatives, they know that we are a trusted partner,” she continued.
Mdm Halimah will leave office as Singapore's eighth President on Sep 13, and former Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam will be sworn in as the country's next President after that. “You can say because that’s how the infrastructure developed, or with people’s own desire to stay healthy. But also to reduce carbon monoxide poisoning … that’s a very interesting example,” said Mdm Halimah.
The King of Saudi Arabia also presented her with a very prestigious award, she said, adding that the Middle East is transforming, wanting to diversify their economies and explore stronger bilateral relations with other countries. Mdm Halimah also reflected on her visits to China and her meetings with President Xi Jinping, who invited her to visit the country twice - as a speaker during the Asian Civilisations dialogue and for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
