Chinese Premier1 Wen Jiabao (L) shakes hands with his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong after signing the Framework Agreement for the Development of the Sino-Singapore Eco-city Project in Singapore on November 18, 2007.
 
Nov. 19 - China and Singapore finalized2 a flagship eco-city project in Tianjin to consolidate3 bilateral4 ties. Premier Wen Jiabao and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong signed several agreements, including one on the Eco-City Framework Agreement, after a 70-minute meeting. Wen is on a five-day official visit to the city state - the first by a Chinese premier in eight years. The bilateral relations between China and Singapore have seen big progress and have turned to a track of rapid, stable and mature development, though the two countries established diplomatic ties only 17 years ago, Wen said during the talks. Strengthening bilateral cooperation, which is a common aspiration5, conforms to the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples and is conducive6 to promoting peace and prosperity in the region, Wen said. The first China-Singapore flagship project was the Suzhou Industrial Park, launched in 1994, which became a resounding7 success. It helped transfer Singapore's industrial expertise8 to China, and became a model of sorts for other industrial parks in the country. The eco-city will be built in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin Municipality, a State-level strategic development area approved by the State Council in 2005 for its huge potential for economic growth. The eco-city will comprise a 30-sq-km "town", combining modern living, recreational and business facilities. Tianjin and Singapore will form a joint9 venture for the project, but specifics of its form and the proportion of the two sides' capital inputs10 have not been decided11. Wen and Lee told the press they discussed bilateral cooperation, a free trade area, the cross-Taiwan Straits situation and the Myanmar issue. Stronger bilateral ties are in the interests of both countries and will help maintain peace and prosperity in the region, Wen said. Lee described China's ties with Singapore as being "deep and strong" in many areas. "Our relations are good because it's based on compatible strategic views on the region and of China's development and peaceful emergence12. So we believe there is room for us to work together in many specific areas for mutual13 benefit." On the Myanmar issue, Wen said China supports UN-brokered efforts. But the efforts of Myanmar's people are more important for peace, stability and development. Lee assured Wen that his country insists on the one-China policy and opposes Taiwan independence. The two leaders officiated at the launch of Singapore-China Foundation, which aims to strengthen cooperation in education and human resources development, and boost bilateral understanding. High-level meetings Wen will attend the annual high-level meetings of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and East Asian countries. The meetings include the 11th ASEAN-China Summit, the 11th ASEAN 10+3 (ASEAN plus China, Japan and the Republic of Korea) Summit and the third East Asia Summit to be held tomorrow. Wen will meet with Singaporean President S.R. Nathan, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Minister Mentor14 Lee Kuan Yew15 today. He will deliver a keynote address at the National University of Singapore for the launching of Business China Eminent16 Speakers' Series this afternoon. After that he will attend a gala dinner.
