[SINGAPORE] In the face of big power contestation and “economic weaponisation”, Singapore will work to identify, assess and mitigate national security risks in the new term of government, while strengthening ties with immediate neighbours and beyond. “As Singapore’s risks and vulnerabilities evolve, so must our national security capabilities to deal with them,” said Minister-in-charge of the National Security Coordination Secretariat (NSCS) K Shanmugam on Monday (Sep 15), in NSCS’ Addendum to the President’s Address. “Singapore faces growing and new security risks that threaten our national security and sovereignty,” noted Shanmugam, who is also coordinating minister for national security. “Interactions between big power contestation, digital connectivity, economic weaponisation and technological advances will introduce complex risks to our infrastructure, economy and supply chains.”   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/amid-economic-weaponisation-singapore-will-take-whole-government-approach-assessing-security-risks (ICE SINGAPORE)
