PAYM POLICY FORUM @ HOLLAND-BUKIT TIMAH GRC AND BUKIT PANJANG AND NEE SOON EAST SMCS
Singapore has been one of the significant players in the region since the inception of ASEAN, underlining the important role that sound foreign policies plays in nation building. Being a small country and commonly known as “A Little Red Dot”, it is essential to build strong diplomatic ties with other countries.
Against the backdrop of increasing public interest on Singapore Foreign Policy, the Youth Executives Committees in Holland–Bukit Timah GRC and Bukit Panjang and Nee Soon East SMCs will be jointly organising a Policy Forum, titled
“The SINGAPORE Connection”

How much do you know about Singapore Foreign Policy?
