AGAINST the backdrop of threats posed to the multilateral trading system by anti-globalisation and anti-trade rhetoric, agreements such as the European Union-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA) are important both in symbolic and practical terms, Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations S Iswaran said while in Italy last weekend.
Mr Iswaran was in Cernobbio, Italy from Sept 6 to 7, attending the 45th Ambrosetti Forum organised by The European House-Ambrosetti. He has headed to Brussels to meet EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom and EU businesses, as the EUSFTA enters the final stages of ratification.
