A Safe Harbour In A Turbulent World

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong speaks about how Singapore must navigate an uncertain landscape as he delivers the 14th S Rajaratnam Lecture.

The Prime Minister says Singapore may be small, but it is not without agency, and he spells out three strategies to steer Singapore through a global transition as America is stepping back from its traditional role as the guarantor of order and nations are turning inward, prioritising their own interests.

The Prime Minister says Singapore will work with like-minded countries that share Singapore’s commitment to an open, stable and rules-based global system, to preserve the multilateral frameworks that matter, and lay the groundwork for a more stable global order to emerge in the years ahead.
