    THE global trade system needs reforms to stay relevant, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told Asean and other world leaders on Wednesday, echoing a criticism that has been voiced by other high-level Singapore officials.

    Mr Lee said that economic growth can be sustained only if the region is open and connected and leaders "safeguard the multilateral trading system as the basis of global commerce".
