Chinese Navy Commander visits Singapore
Member of the Central Military Commission (CMC) of the People's Republic of China and Commander of the People's Liberation Army (Navy), Admiral (ADM) Wu Shengli, met Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean during his official visit to Singapore.
The meeting took place on May 18, as part of his visit from May 17 to 21.
ADM Wu met Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General (LG) Neo Kian Hong at the Ministry of Defence on Friday afternoon.
He also met Chief of Navy Rear-Admiral Ng Chee Peng and attended the International Maritime Defence Exhibition (IMDEX) Asia 2011.
As part of his programme, ADM Wu visited Changi Naval Base on Friday.
Singapore's Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said ADM Wu's visit highlights the warm and friendly defence relations between Singapore and China, as well as the progress made in defence ties following the signing of the Agreement on Defence Exchanges and Security Cooperation in January 2008.
The Singapore Armed Forces and the People's Liberation Army interact regularly through the exchange of visits, courses and seminars, and between both navies through port calls.
MINDEF said Singapore and China also share a good exchange of high-level bilateral visits which include Member of the CMC, State Councilor and Minister of National Defence General (GEN) Liang Guanglie, who made an official visit to Singapore earlier this week.
