The US and the EU have backed an ambitious plan to build an economic corridor linking Europe with the Middle East and India via rail and sea, a project the US president, Joe Biden, described as a “really big deal”.

The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, and the European commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the project during a Saturday afternoon session at the G20 leaders’ summit, being held in Delhi this weekend.

Modi said the India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor promised to be “a beacon of cooperation, innovation, and shared progress”. Biden said it was “game-changing investment”.

The project, called the Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment, could speed up trade between India and Europe by 40% and help normalise relations between Israel and the Gulf states, which the Biden administration has been pushing for.

The initiative would also provide a counterbalance to China’s vast infrastructure corridor, the Belt and Road project, which currently stretches across Asia, Africa and Latin America and has given China sizeable influence over countries that have struggling economies.

“We think that the project itself is bold and transformative, but the vision behind the project is equally bold and transformative, and we will see it replicated in other parts of the world as well,” said Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser.

Singapore is strategically located at the convergence of key shipping routes around the world. Up to 70% of the world's global maritime economy transits through the Singapore Strait. It is the world's busiest transshipment hub, and sees 1,350 times more cargo movement by sea than air annually.

An average container ship calling at Singapore carries 800 times the amount of cargo carried by a Boeing 747 plane, equivalent to three days of aircraft landings at Changi Airport.

Seaborne trade is the lifeblood of Singapore's economy, with the maritime industry contributing up to 7% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product.

SINGAPORE – With Saturday marking what would have been the 100th birthday of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, several politicians have taken to social media to pay tribute to Singapore’s founding prime minister.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Mr Lee’s elder son, reflected on how the founding fathers of Singapore shaped the values and ideals of a newly independent Singapore – meritocracy, religious freedom and racial harmony, justice and equality, self-reliance, integrity and incorruptibility.

“I hope Singaporeans, especially younger ones who have grown up in a modern prosperous nation, will be able to appreciate the conditions of early Singapore, and the drive and determination of our predecessors to face down and overcome their immense challenges,” PM Lee said.

“The Singapore story doesn’t end here. May we always have the resourcefulness, courage, and conviction to take Singapore forward. Majulah Singapura!”

PM Lee also listed several events, including an immersive art exhibition, being held to mark the occasion.



Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in a Facebook post on Friday that Mr Lee had “always made investing in our people a priority”, including Singapore’s youth.

He said he was glad to see that the funds raised by a joint initiative to support the Lee Kuan Yew Centennial Fund will go towards students’ education and development, thanking business chambers across the Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian communities.

Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat recalled his years working for Mr Lee as his principal private secretary, which he credited as being instrumental in shaping his values and outlook.

He shared three key takeaways from his experience. The first was to find one’s purpose and to pursue it with passion and dedication, he said, drawing a parallel to Mr Lee’s mission to ensure Singapore’s survival and success, which Mr Lee had “dedicated his whole life” to.

The second – taking a strategic, long-term view – is reflected in the country’s water story, with the “instinct of securing Singapore’s strategic interests” to ensure its long-term survival, said Mr Heng.

The third takeaway for Mr Heng was to be adaptable, and being unafraid to innovate.

“I remember being grilled by Mr Lee as he drilled down to the core of issues,” Mr Heng said in his Facebook post, remembering Mr Lee’s stance towards bilingualism as an example of his humility and willingness to adapt in the face of changing circumstances.

Education Minister and Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing posted on Facebook a picture of his first tree planting day 12 years ago, where he is seen with Mr Lee.


Mr Chan said he joined residents of Tanjong Pagar and Radin Mas on Saturday morning to commemorate Mr Lee’s 100th birthday and continue the tradition to plant trees, which he likened to a symbol of commitment to plant the seeds for the success of future generations.

“Our best tribute to Mr Lee will be to keep Singapore growing and glowing. Glad to see every generation inspiring the next to do even better for Singapore,” said Mr Chan.

The People’s Action Party, which Mr Lee co-founded in 1954, commemorated his 100th birth anniversary with a call for Singaporeans to take part in its campaign to plant 10,000 trees across Singapore, which began in May.

Mr Lee, who died in 2015, launched the first nationwide tree planting campaign in 1963 and introduced the “Garden City” vision in May 1967, which started a greening movement that has lasted for decades.

Yup, it's all about money and greed to islamists and jihadists. Read your own moslem history. Most of your islamic heroes were famous raiders and looters. So much gold, slaves and plunder taken from other people.

The fact that he conned everyone escapes you.

Conned everyone? Again, highest living standards in asia + 55 years of no war = conning everyone??

The ends doesn't justify the means.

Always remember that your own 1924 cairo edition quran described allah as the best of deceivers. The ends apparently justifies the means for your arabian god.

Funny how they plunder and rob but remained poor.
But you know who became the riches entity? Surely they must have gotten rich by being generous. Hahaha
The Catholic church.
