In a significant move to strengthen its global presence, Singapore has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling climate change and counter-terrorism, with key diplomatic initiatives aimed at fostering international cooperation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced today that Singapore will be hosting a high-level conference on climate change in September this year, bringing together world leaders, experts, and civil society organizations to discuss innovative solutions to address the growing threat of global warming. The event, which will take place at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, aims to promote collaborative efforts among countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
In addition to this climate-focused initiative, MFA also announced its participation in a regional counter-terrorism exercise in Southeast Asia, designed to enhance regional capacity-building on counter-terrorism practices. The exercise, scheduled for later this year, will involve law enforcement agencies from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, with the aim of strengthening their collective capabilities in detecting and responding to terrorist threats.
These initiatives demonstrate Singapore’s continued commitment to playing an active role in regional and global affairs, while addressing pressing international issues that require collective action. By fostering greater cooperation on climate change and counter-terrorism, Singapore aims to contribute meaningfully to the ongoing efforts to address these complex challenges and promote a more secure and sustainable world for all.
