Poland and Singapore can be gateways to their respective regions, Vivian Balakrishnan, the Singaporean foreign minister, wrote on Instagram on Monday following talks with his Polish counterpart, Radoslaw Sikorski.

On Monday, Sikorski began his visit to Southeast Asian countries, with Singapore being his first destination.

"Met Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski who is on his first official visit to Singapore and the region," Balakrishnan wrote following the talks. "We reaffirmed the warm relations between our countries and discussed regional and global developments."

Recalling the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, Balakrishnan said "there is room for our bilateral trade and investments to grow."

"Both countries can be the gateways for each other in our respective regions - in Singapore, we can expect to see more Polish produce on our supermarket shelves," he went on to say. "This will diversify Singapore's food sources and ensure our food supply remains resilient." (PAP)
