Singapore and New Zealand have agreed to upgrade their bilateral relationship, and have laid out a road map to cooperate more closely in wide-ranging areas such as trade, security, innovation and supply chain resilience. The upgrading of links to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) on Oct 10 came as the countries marked 60 years of diplomatic ties, and a quarter-century since they signed a free trade agreement (FTA). That FTA, Singapore’s first, paved the way for even more ambitious ventures between the two island nations, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Oct 10. These included the Pacific-4 agreement, which grew into the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), a free trade agreement between 12 countries.   https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/singapore-new-zealand-elevate-ties-commit-to-raising-relationship-to-new-heights (ICE SINGAPORE)
