    THE United States and Singapore celebrate 55 years of diplomatic relations this year. We share a robust and long-standing economic partnership that has been built up over half a century.

    The US is Singapore's largest source of foreign direct investment, with an investment stock of over US$270 billion, or about one third of the US' total investments in the Indo-Pacific.

    In turn, Singapore is the second-largest Asian source of investment in the US market, and supports over 250,000 American jobs through its investments in and imports from the US.
