    【新加坡】财政部长 Lawrence Wong 表示，新加坡需要在已改变的全球环境中做出调整，并以不同的方式建立联系。

    Wong 在周四（2月12日）发表的2026年预算案演讲中表示，尽管一些国家正转向对内发展，减少对外依赖，但这并非新加坡的选择。

    Wong 说：“在这个变化了的世界里，增长将更加困难。我们必须志存高远，加快步伐，并准备好承担经过计算的风险。”

    因此，新加坡必须适应新格局，并以更智能、更多样化和更具韧性的方式建立联系。

    同时也是总理的 Wong 说道：“经济流动正变得更具选择性，合伙业务更具战略性，而韧性的重要性如今已不亚于效率。”
