Singapore, Chongqing to set up electronic info-sharing platform
Chongqing
SINGAPORE is working with Chongqing to set up a single electronic window to connect the south-western Chinese city's economy with Singapore through data and information sharing, said Chan Chun Sing, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, on Thursday.
Such a platform will make for easier and more efficient customs clearance, which will eventually enable a more seamless flow of goods between China's western regions and South-east Asia.
