Nanjing

EVEN as Singapore undergoes leadership renewal and transition, its younger leaders will continue to build on and improve ties with China, visiting Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said in China on Monday.

In an address to 200 students and faculty members from Nanjing University, Mr Heng pointed to current leaders like Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, who have over the years built a "long-standing and close friendship" between the two countries.
