U.S.-Singapore Relations at 55: Our Shared Past and Future - People-to-People Ties

Besides bilateral ties that are cemented by formal agreements, the U.S. and Singapore also share deep people-to-people ties. More than 140 Singaporean companies are currently located in the U.S., and more than 5,400 American companies are based in Singapore. Each year, over 4,000 Singaporeans pursue higher education in the U.S. and more than 1,000 Americans study in Singapore’s universities. The citizens of both countries also enjoy visa-free travel between the United States and Singapore. Through these interactions, U.S. citizens and Singaporeans enjoy a robust exchange of ideas and a mutual understanding of each other’s cultures, values and traditions.
What are the advantages of such strong people-to-people ties? How can U.S. citizens and Singaporeans leverage these deep ties to tackle the challenges of today? Join our distinguished panel as they discuss the strength of people-to-people ties between the U.S. and Singapore and explore the ways the citizens of both countries can learn from each other to pursue shared interests.
