: Opening Speech by Ms Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Industry, at the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference (APPEC) 2026
On 8 September 2026, Ms Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Industry, delivered the opening speech at the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference (APPEC) 2026. She shared that resilience and diversification is imperative to ensure secure energy supply chains. While governments provide stable policy and investment frameworks, companies must decide where resilience is worth the cost and build that flexibility into their operations. The wider energy ecosystem – including traders, financiers, shipowners, logistics providers and tech companies – must also continue to find better ways to connect supply and demand and manage risks. Singapore will continue to play our part by investing in infrastructure, capabilities and partnerships that support evolving energy flows and strengthen regional resilience.
