2023-03-28

According to the news released by Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning on the afternoon of March 27, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore will pay an official visit to China in conjunction with his attendance at the 2023 annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia. According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office of Singapore on March 26, Lee Hsien Loong and his delegation will visit China for a period of six days from March 27 to April 1, during which they will visit Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Boao City, Hainan Province, and Beijing City. As one of the first foreign government leaders to visit after the closing of the National People's Congress and the establishment of the new central government, Li Xianlong's visit to China has attracted attention from all parties. This is also Lee Hsien Loong's third visit to Guangdong since taking office as Prime Minister of Singapore. In an exclusive interview with Nanfang Daily in 2014, he said, "Every time you visit Guangdong, you can see new changes." Coincidentally, in 2014 and during this visit to China, the first stop of Li Xianlong's delegation was Guangdong. Since revisiting Guangdong after nine years of reform and opening up, China and Singapore have had frequent exchanges in various fields and at all levels. Li Xianlong has visited China many times, and Guangdong has often been included in his visit to China itinerary. As early as 1991, Li Xianlong came to Guangdong for an investigation visit. After taking office as Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong first visited Guangdong in October 2006, 15 years after his 1991 visit. During that visit, he expressed "the hope of learning more about Guangdong and updating information about Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta.". In the subsequent itinerary, Li Xianlong and his party visited the Science City of Guangzhou Development Zone. In September 2014, Li Xianlong started his second visit to Guangdong. The accompanying economic and trade delegation included about 50 people, including the Minister of Transport, the Special Adviser to the Prime Minister for Economic Cooperation, the Minister of Trade and Industry, and the Ambassador to China. During the three-day trip, Li Xianlong focused on understanding the industrial development, technological innovation, and traditional cultural conservation in Guangdong. He not only visited the Guangdong Provincial Museum, as well as Liwanyong and Xiguan Mansions with traditional Lingnan cultural characteristics, but also visited high-tech development zones and technology enterprises in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, including the China New Guangzhou Knowledge City and Tengfei Industrial Park located in the Guangzhou Development Zone, And Tencent and Qianhai New Area in Shenzhen. This trip to Guangdong is Lee Hsien Loong's third visit as Prime Minister of Singapore, nine years after his last visit to Guangdong. On his first day in Guangzhou, Li Xianlong took a driverless minibus to visit the Biological Island. Familiar with the situation of Guangdong Province, Li Xianlong has been familiar with the situation of Guangdong Province among foreign dignitaries due to his active initiative to create cooperation projects, his multiple visits to Guangdong in different historical periods, and the frequent economic and trade exchanges and high-level interactions between Guangdong and Singapore. In an interview, Li Xianlong spoke about his understanding and understanding of the policy of "vacating cages for birds" in Guangdong at that time. "Due to the changes in the economic situation in the eastern coastal areas and the rise in labor costs, for example, Guangdong has proposed to 'vacate the cage for birds' and transform the economic structure, which is a very necessary process." Li Xianlong is also an active advocate of many major cooperation projects and mechanisms established between Guangdong and Singapore. For example, the construction of the China Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City is precisely in the areas of Singapore's top management, such as Li Xianlong, and Guangdong
