During his talks with Lee, Yang said China and Singapore had maintained close contact and the bilateral relations between the two countries had developed rapidly in recent years with satisfying results, such as the operation of the China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park and the good beginning of Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.

Yang said China is willing to work together with Singapore to promote the relations between the two countries to a new height.

Echoing Yang's views, Lee said he hopes Singapore and China continue developing their bilateral relations.

After exchanging views on the ongoing international financial crisis, regional cooperation in East Asia and other issues of common concern, both sides agreed that under the current situation, China and Singapore should further enhance coordinated cooperation, work together to maintain financial stability in the region, promote economic growth and achieve new progress in advancing regional cooperation.
