Currently, as the bulk of the COVID-19 patients in Singapore are foreign workers residing in dormitories, the Chinese government has also extended their assistance to those people. On Tuesday, the Chinese embassy provided the Singapore Migrant Workers' Center with supplies including food and soaps, to aid the foreign workers in Singapore who have been isolated as part of the government's efforts to contain the virus outbreak.
On April 1, Vice Minister Luo Zhaohui of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Permanent Secretary Chee Wee Kiong of Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs co-chaired the virtual China-Singapore Joint Meeting on COVID-19. Both sides agreed to share diagnostic and treatment good practices, explore joint research and development of medicines and vaccines, and provide facilitation and support, as appropriate, to the nationals residing in each other's country on their medical treatment and stay, among others.
BUSINESS COOPERATION
Besides the Singaporean government, the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI), among many other organizations, have also supported the call of the Singapore Red Cross to render assistance to China.
SBF Chairman Teo Siong Seng said in a statement on Feb. 4 "The business communities in China and Singapore enjoy long-standing and wide-ranging relationship that extends beyond trade. The fight against this virus is not China's alone, but the world's," adding that SBF will rally its members and the Singapore business community to contribute to this effort with the Singapore Red Cross.
