New Collaboration Platform to Help Singapore Smes Enter Nantong Market J OI N T M E DI A RELEASE New collaboration platform to help Singapore SMEs enter Nantong market An initiative under the Singapore-Jiangsu Collaboration Council, SCCCI and the Nantong government ink MOU to set up SME Collaboration Platform. MR No.: 018/13 Singapore, Wednesday, 26 June 2013 1. In line with the Singapore-Jiangsu Cooperation Council’s (SJCC) efforts to explore business opportunities in the northern coastal belt of Jiangsu province, a Singapore- Nantong SME Collaboration Platform was officially formed today. The initiative was mooted by Minister of State (MOS) for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck when he called on Nantong Party Secretary Ding Dawei during a business mission to Nantong led by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore in April this year. MOS Teo is the Deputy Co- Chairman of the Singapore-Jiangsu Cooperation Council1 (SJCC); IE Singapore is the Singapore Secretariat. 2. Under the auspices of the SJCC and supported by IE Singapore, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) Shanghai Representative Office will run the Singapore-Nantong SME Collaboration Platform. Witnessed by Mr Ding Dawei, Nantong Party Secretary, Ms Liane Ong, Regional Director (East China) of IE Singapore and Mr Teo Siong Seng, Immediate Past President of SCCCI, the MOU was signed in Nantong by Mr Lim Wee Khee, Director of SCCCI Shanghai Representative Office and Ms Gu Shu Ying, Director of Nantong Bureau of Commerce (Nantong BOC). 3. MOS Teo said, “Jiangsu cities in the northern coastal belt are less saturated, with ample land and manpower. More importantly, many are growing rapidly, with a clear 1 The SJCC Co-Chairmen are Mr Heng Swee Keat, Singapore Minister for Education and Mr Li Xueyong, Jiangsu Governor. MOS Teo and Mr Fu Ziying, Jiangsu Vice Governor are the Vice Co-Chairmen. International Enterprise Singapore is the government agency driving Singapore’s external economy. Joint Media Release 26 Jun ‘13 focus on urbanisation and sustainable development. Apart from contributing their expertise to Nantong’s development, Singapore small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can leverage the city’s cost advantages, and close proximity to other Jiangsu cities and Shanghai, to grow their presence in the Yangtze River Delta region. This platform opens up a new channel for Singapore and Nantong to deepen exchanges and collaboration between our enterprises. It is a good example of the partnership between the government and our trade associations and chambers, to help SMEs internationalise.” 4. The three-year MOU will see SCCCI and Nanjing BOC partner each other in business missions and investment promotion seminars for SCCCI member companies. The two will also engage in regular information exchanges and explore strategic partnerships for investment projects in Nantong. 5. This move is aligned with IE Singapore’s direction to help Singapore companies seek new opportunities in emerging Chinese cities. As the agency driving Singapore’s external economy, it facilitates the entry of Singapore companies into less-explored cities in northern Jiangsu, including Nantong, Lianyungang, Xuzhou and Yancheng. IE Singapore also partners trade associations and chambers such as the SCCCI to reach out to more SMEs. The SCCCI Shanghai Representative Office was set up since 2010. Potential of Nantong 6. In Jiangsu, the local government has balanced growth across the province and welcomes project investments in the less developed northern Jiangsu cities, including Nantong. In 2012, Nantong’s GDP growth reached 11.8%2. With a population close to eight million, Nantong is a two-hour drive away from Shanghai. Strategically situated where the coastline converges with many waterways, it boasts a 203km-long coastline with 166km of the city located along riverbanks. Shipbuilding and offshore marine industries are traditional key drivers of Nantong’s growth, with alternative energy gaining strong momentum. In China, Nantong has the largest wind farm in terms of generation capacity and is the country’s largest wind power hub on the coast3. As of end 2012, the installed wind power capacity hit one million kilowatts, and is expected to reach two million kilowatts by 2015. It is also building biomass, waste and tidal power generation stations. These bring opportunities for Singapore companies in port 2 Source: Nantong Bureau of Commerce 3 Source: China Daily News Article “Nantong’s Prospects Good for 2013”, 6 March 2013 Page 2 of 5 Joint Media Release 26 Jun ‘13 development, shipbuilding & repair, marine supporting services, port machinery, new energy and logistics. 7. Being part of two overlapping policies issued by the Central Government, Nantong holds significant economic importance. It is one of the three core cities (the other two are Lianyungang and Yancheng) in Jiangsu to lead the economic development of coastal areas in the “Jiangsu Coastal Development Strategy”, and is included in the “Yangtze River Delta Regional Development Plan”. 8. Nantong is also home to the Suzhou-Nantong Science & Technology Park (Sutong STP), a project involving China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park Development Co. (CSSD), the Suzhou Industrial Park Administrative Committee (SIPAC) and Nantong Economic and Technological Development Area (NETDA). To be built as an ecologically protected, integrated new town within NETDA, the Sutong STP sees the transfer of Singapore’s experience and the replication of Suzhou Industrial Park’s success beyond Suzhou. 9. In 2012, Singapore-Nantong bilateral trade increased 4.7% to hit US$1.64 billion4, making Singapore Nantong’s fourth largest trading partner. As of end 2012, Singapore’s cumulative actual investments in Nantong reached US$1.04 billion5 with 276 projects. Singapore companies with established presence in Nantong include Keppel Land, Keppel Offshore & Marine Limited, Sembcorp Industries and Tee Yih Jia Group.

The end of the Cold War in the early nineties, the advent of a democratic and stable South Africa and the increased role in conflict resolution of the African Union have all laid the foundation for a more peaceful Africa. Despite this progress, Africa is often still viewed as a conflict-ridden continent. I believe this stereotype is to a large extent obsolete. Africa’s most rapidly growing states are those which are now categorized as post-conflict economies – Angola, DRC and Mozambique. They are benefiting from more stable political systems and the buoyant commodity markets, largely driven by China. High intensity conflicts in Africa continue only in Sudan, Somalia and Chad. Low intensity conflict exists in northern Uganda, eastern DRC, Algeria, the Niger Delta and Zimbabwe.
