Chinese Premier Li Qiang wrapped up a two-day official visit to Singapore on Oct 26 with a call on Acting President Eddie Teo and a roundtable with Singapore and Chinese business leaders.

Both Mr Li and Mr Teo reaffirmed the strong bilateral ties forged over the past 35 years and “welcomed the steady and substantive growth in cooperation” between the two countries across various sectors, said Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in a statement.

Mr Teo, chairman of the Council of Presidential Advisers, is standing in for President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who is overseas on leave.

he is there as PM not China man.

Then he must speak in national language.

1.The Meeting was NOT a private meeting, but for ALL Humankind, as what was said would mean deeply for our closest ASEAN community and neighbors.

2.Although much can be said about England's exploitation of Asia's wealth, but they did CERTANILY left behind a CRITICAL legacy for ALL Humankind beside its Common Law, and it lays in a COMMON lingo for VITAL trade that uplifts Humanity's lives than in the ancient past whereby a trader would have to struggle with MULTIPLES of complex languages, to earn a living to provide for family and loved ones at home.... or when failed to do so.....which is no failure of his. as he was no native to what others used or spoke at his timeline of existence,,,,,,

3.The English lingo is certainly NOT difficult to learn, as it has only mere 26 alphabets to memorize, which can be combined to form millions of words, the exponential way of Maths, unlike many other languages, such as Egyptian pictogram hieroglyphics, India Sanscript, China tonal differences of even same word spoken, Arabic Abjab script that needs guttural sounds to pronounce and give meaning and emphasis to words, etc.

4. Ultimately, it is about a more COMMON lingo spoken, SO AS NOT TO BE MISINTEPRATED or even MISTRANSLATED.....for all Humanity to know and comprehend....
