Macron is on a tour through Southeast Asia that has already taken him to Vietnam and Indonesia, as he seeks to position France as a counterweight to the US and China, the region’s two biggest economic partners.
France and Singapore signed a wide-ranging deal to enhance nuclear power and clean energy cooperation during President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to the city-state.
The agreement also covers cyberspace and defence collaboration, Macron said during a joint news conference Friday with Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. France and Singapore are “not only partners, but trusted friends.”
