Listen SINGAPORE – Singapore and Luxembourg are looking to deepen cooperation in technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence, as well as space and satellite communications.
Such “emerging and critical” areas are among those where both countries will do more together, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during an official lunch he hosted for his Luxembourg counterpart Luc Frieden on Sept 7.
PM Frieden is on an official visit to the Republic from Sept 6 to 8 – his first as prime minister.
During a toast speech, PM Wong outlined how Luxembourg was not only a good partner, but also a “kindred spirit” of Singapore.
While the two countries may be far apart geographically, they are close in circumstances and spirit, he said.
Besides being small countries surrounded by much larger neighbours, they both have limited domestic markets and no natural resources.
