U.S.-Singapore Relations at 55: Our Shared Past and Future – Security Ties

The U.S. and Singapore share a deep and vital defense partnership. The United States provides Singapore with defense technology and facilities for military training, while Singapore, given its geostrategic position at the center of the Indo-Pacific, is a key partner for the U.S. in the region.  Over the last fifty-five years, numerous agreements have been signed between both countries to strengthen cooperation in various facets of security relations, including counter-proliferation, cybersecurity, law enforcement and counter-terrorism.

Join our speakers as they discuss how both countries can work together to explore new forms of regional collaboration to counter transnational threats.
