Building on the success of the first EU-Singapore think tank dialogue in January 2019 on security cooperation, the second in a series of four high-level think tank dialogues will focus on identifying concrete actions to deepen EU-Singapore cooperation in the realm of connectivity – specifically in the areas relating to physical, digital and people to people connectivity.
Co-organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) and the Netherlands Institute of International Relations, Clingendael, with the support of the EU Delegation to Singapore, the conference comprises two keynote speeches and three panels. Covering topics such as multilateralising infrastructure, digital connectivity and people-to-people connectivity, the conference aims to provide think tanks, policy makers and academics with a platform for open dialogue as well as identify opportunities to enrich the EU-Singapore collaboration and offer key insights of best practices from past successes and promote mutual learning.
The conference will feature the following keynote speakers:
• Dr. Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Transport & Ministry of Communications and Information of Singapore
• Mr. Juhan Lepassaar, Head of Cabinet of Vice President of the European Commission Andrus Ansip
