Singapore takes stands, not sides: Vivian
Foreign Minister says a stand against clear violations of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity is ultimately 'also about us as a tiny city-state'
Singapore
SMALLER countries like Singapore must not get caught up in "the geopolitical games of big powers", Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan affirmed on Thursday (Mar 3), while reiterating that decisions are made based on the Republic's own national interests, and not as proxies or vassals for any other nation.
Touching on the war in Ukraine, which Russia invaded last week, Balakrishnan noted that a stand against clear violations of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity is ultimately "also about us as a tiny city-state".
