Happy to kickstart my engagements in Washington, DC, with a productive meeting with US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. We had a good discussion on strengthening the economic partnership between our countries through the US-Singapore Partnership for Growth and Innovation (PGI), as well as the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF). The PGI serves as a strategic pathfinder to enhance economic integration between the US and Southeast Asia. Secretary Raimondo and I spoke about potential avenues for cooperation in semiconductors, the digital economy, and clean energy under the PGI. We also acknowledged the significant progress of the IPEF in advancing sustainable and inclusive growth in the region, and will continue working closely to organise the inaugural IPEF Clean Economy Investor Forum and Ministerial meeting, which will be held from 5 to 6 June 2024, in Singapore. I look forward to working with Secretary Raimondo and her team, to make progress in these areas and pave the way forward for our economies, companies and people.
