A KEY economic objective for Singapore this year, as it takes over the Asean chairmanship, is to deepen regional connectivity to position Asean for seamless economic activity and growing opportunities, said Minister for Trade and Industry (Trade) Lim Hng Kiang on Thursday.
Speaking as chairman of the 24th Asean Economic Ministers' Retreat at Singapore's Shangri-La hotel, he said that some of Singapore's priorities would be to strengthen Asean cohesion, given the work needed to advance the Asean Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint 2025, and to gear up for the next phase of growth, especially through innovation.
