The EU and Singapore: Providing global leadership in sustainable transport

I ALWAYS enjoy visiting Singapore which is without doubt one of the world's most forward-looking, dynamic and innovative hubs. It is a country that embraces change and has been constantly reinventing itself for so many years as a transport trailblazer. It's also no surprise that Singapore is very much a strategic partner of the European Union (EU) in the transport domain.

Singapore is one of the EU's most important trade partners in the Asia-Pacific region, and the EU is the most important trading partner for Singapore.

Effective transport networks represent not only the glue that links our economies and people but they are also strategic sectors of our respective economies. Efficient mobility in cities greatly enhances economic opportunities. In dealing with shared challenges, we have much to learn from each other.
