While Singapore and Laos are small countries with similar population sizes, their cooperation is wide-ranging and spans areas such as energy connectivity and resilience, sustainability, public health and food security. Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said this on Friday (Oct 11) at an official banquet in Vientiane during a bilateral meeting with Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone. In a toast speech, PM Wong remarked that both nations grapple with geographical constraints – Laos is landlocked while Singapore, as an island state, is “sea-locked”.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/asean/landlocked-laos-sea-locked-singapore-join-forces-energy-sustainability-food-security (ICE SINGAPORE)
