Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s trip to Russia as part of an Asean delegation to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin was a pragmatic move that showed the city state could uphold its sanctions against Moscow while keeping diplomatic channels open, analysts said. They said the approach reflected Singapore’s need to balance its principled stance on the Ukraine war with its responsibilities as next year’s chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the region’s search for...

Countries should uphold international law in a more volatile world: PM Wong at ASEAN-Russia summit
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong highlighted Singapore and ASEAN’s consistent call for parties involved in conflicts to pursue the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law.
Meeting with Prime Minister of Singapore Lawrence Wong
On the sidelines of the Russia – ASEAN Summit, Vladimir Putin held a meeting with Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore Lawrence Wong. On the Russian side, the meeting was attended by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Deputy Prime Minister, Russian Co-Chair of the High-Level Intergovernmental Russia-Singapore Commission Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Maxim Oreshkin, Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Energy Sergei Tsivilev, Special Presidential Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, Head of the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States, Compatriots Living Abroad and International Humanitarian Cooperation Igor Chaika, General Director of the Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities Dmitry Bakanov, and Chairman of the Delovaya Rossiya National Public Organisation Alexei Repik. * * * President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Prime Minister, friends, First of all, I would like to thank you once again for agreeing to join us here in Kazan for the summit marking the 35th anniversary of Russia-ASEAN relations – which I believe has been a highly successful and productive gathering. We attach great importance to strengthening our ties with ASEAN member states. I have fond memories of my visit to Singapore, which, besides bilateral agenda, included my participation in the third Russia – ASEAN Summit, and it was back then that we proclaimed the strategic partnership of Russia and ASEAN. I would like to thank you for the fact that Singapore became the place and the country where this event took place. May I also wish you every success with your forthcoming ASEAN Chairmanship next year. Our countries cooperate not only within this framework but also across other international platforms, not least the United Nations. Russia-Singapore relations have traditionally been characterised by mutual respect and pragmatism, and we maintain constructive dialogue on issues of shared interest. Contacts are also maintained between our foreign ministries. We are coordinating our approaches to common challenges and threats, particularly in the field of international information security. This is an area where we have much to offer one another. As I have noted, your country is actively engaged on this front and has shown genuine interest, recognising it as one of the most serious threats facing the modern world. Considerable potential remains untapped in the economic sphere – in part due to the restrictions currently in place. Nevertheless, channels for business dialogue remain open. The most recent session of the Russia–Singapore Business Dialogue was held in Singapore this past April. We welcome the participation of Singapore’s delegation in the 29th St Petersburg International Economic Forum, and we look forward to seeing your representatives at other multilateral events hosted by Russia – including, incidentally, the Eastern Economic Forum, which we will be holding shortly in Vladivostok. We also attach great significance to expanding people-to-people ties and deepening cooperation in education and culture. Today’s meeting affords us an excellent opportunity for an in-depth exchange of views on the current state of and future prospects for our bilateral relations. Let me stress again that we are truly delighted to have you here. I am confident that our discussions – both yesterday’s and today’s – will make a meaningful contribution to the further development of our bilateral ties. Thank you. Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore Lawrence Wong: Thank you very much, President Putin, and once again I would like to thank you and the Government and people of Russia for the warm hospitality extended to me and my delegation for this visit. This is my first time visiting Russia – personally and in my official capacity – so it is extra meaningful. And I am delighted also that I have this chance, during this visit, to meet with you. We had a very good discussion earlier today at this ASEAN – Russia summit. Singapore welcomes Russia’s strong support for ASEAN centrality and your active engagement with ASEAN. We look forward to working closely with Russia to identify practical areas for cooperation with ASEAN when we take over as Chair of ASEAN next year. Bilaterally, our two countries – as, Mr President, you highlighted just now – have longstanding relations marked by mutual respect, pragmatism, and constructive cooperation. Singapore values our relations with Russia, with the Government of Russia, and with its people. I had a very good meeting earlier – just now – with the Rais of Tatarstan and his team. We have very good ties with Tatarstan, we want to continue building on relations we have with other parts of Russia as well. I look forward to this discussion today, Mr President, with you and your team, to consider and identify areas of cooperation where we have shared interests, so that we can take our relationship further. Thank you very much once again for the warm welcome.
Putin ve Singapur Başbakanı Wong Rusya-ASEAN Zirvesi'nde Bir Araya GeldiRussia – ASEAN Summit
Vladimir Putin is taking part in the anniversary plenary sessions of the 5th Russia – Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit, marking 35 years since the establishment of their relations. The agenda for the meeting in Kazan includes a review of the strategic partnership between the Russian Federation and ASEAN, as well as new avenues for collaboration on the political, economic and humanitarian tracks, and an exchange of views on the latest international and regional developments. Heads of the delegations taking part in the summit posed for a group photo ahead of the first plenary meeting. ASEAN includes 11 Southeast Asian countries: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. Russia has been ASEAN’s full-scale dialogue partner since July 1996. Taking part in the summit are Sultan of Brunei Darussalam Hassanal Bolkiah, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia Hun Manet, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Indonesia Sugiono, Prime Minister of Lao PDR Sonexay Siphandone, Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim, Presidential Special Representative and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar hau Khan Sum, President of the Republic of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos, Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore Lawrence Wong, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste Xanana Gusmão, and Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Le Minh Hung. Secretary-General of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Dr Kao Kim Hourn, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Nurlan Yermekbayev, and Chair of the Eurasian Economic Commission’s (EEC) Board Bakytzhan Sagintayev are also taking part in the summit. * * * Opening remarks by the President of Russia at the 5th Russia – ASEAN Summit President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, friends, I am delighted to welcome all of you to Kazan for the anniversary Russia – ASEAN Summit, which marks 35 years since the establishment of relations between Russia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Friends, many of you have visited our country in the past, while for some, this is their first time here. Welcome to everyone. Delegations at the previous Russia – ASEAN meeting did not include Timor-Leste, which joined ASEAN in 2025. We are delighted to have the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste with us today. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is an authoritative organisation extending beyond the Asia-Pacific region. Relevant on a global scale, it has withstood the test of time, building a system of cooperation between states founded on universally recognised norms of international law and mutual respect for each other’s interests. These are precisely the principles underpinning Russia-ASEAN relations. It is a strategic partnership that serves as an essential stabilising factor in the Asia-Pacific amidst geopolitical turbulence, contributing to the formation of a balanced security architecture and equitable mutually beneficial cooperation. Today’s agenda is as follows: we will exchange opinions on topical regional and international issues, share assessments of the outcomes of Russia-ASEAN cooperation over the past 35 years, and discuss future areas, tasks and objectives of the Russia-ASEAN strategic partnership. It goes without saying that our discussion may cover other issues as well. Please feel free to raise any matters you deem worthy of discussion. Our cooperation demonstrates clear results. We have developed a robust legal and regulatory framework to govern our relations, as well as an extensive network of joint mechanisms. We have launched new dialogue platforms. We have expanded the scope of practical cooperation in such areas as combating new security challenges and threats, as well as trade and investment, energy, agriculture, digitalisation, science and technology, tourism, and humanitarian contacts more broadly. I hope this day will be productive and we will have a constructive and engaged exchange of opinions, as always. I will be co-hosting this meeting with the President of the Republic of the Philippines, a country chairing ASEAN this year. With great pleasure, I pass the floor to Mr Ferdinand Marcos for his opening remarks. Mr President, please. To be continued.

Pakistan's mediatory role acclaimed as world welcomes US-Iran agreement
Islamabad’s mediatory role, as well as those of other countries, was in the limelight on Monday as world leaders welcomed a much-awaited agreement between Washington and Tehran to de-escalate tensions and eventually end a war that began more than three months ago and crippled the world economy. The preliminary agreement, first announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is being hailed as a significant diplomatic breakthrough that could restore peace in the Middle East, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and ease global economic pressures. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres congratulated the US and Iran for having reached a peace deal that provided for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. “This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict,” Gueterres remarked. “My deep appreciation goes to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and other regional countries, for the constructive role played in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal,” he added. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, in a joint statement, commended the efforts to date of Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and other mediating countries. They emphasised that Australia had long called for de-escalation, including in Lebanon, and welcomed steps toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the agreement as an “important development for establishing peace and tranquility in our region”. He specifically thanked Pakistan for its exceptional mediation efforts and also appreciated the support provided by Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in its statement, extended thanks to “our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan”, as well as to all regional and international parties that contributed to the agreement. The statement highlighted Pakistan’s role in creating conditions for the memorandum of understanding on outstanding issues, including freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. French President Emmanuel Macron, in a statement, said that the agreement was the result of a diplomatic effort to which several partners have contributed, and called for its rapid and complete implementation. He said the deal also paved the way for comprehensive negotiations in for peace and security for all in the Middle East. Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi commended the efforts of the relevant countries that have played a mediating role to date. “We welcome the agreement on this memorandum as a major step toward the resolution of the situation. This is the result of the parties concerned pursuing a diplomatic solution and engaging in persistent negotiations. At the same time, we highly commend the efforts of the relevant countries that have played a mediating role to date,” she said. Takaichi expressed the hope that this memorandum will be steadily implemented, that free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz will be actually ensured, and that a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue and other matters will be realised at the earliest possible date. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also welcomed the US-Iran deal and congratulated US President Donald Trump and the Iranian side on this diplomatic breakthrough. “This can pave the way towards a reinvigorated global economy and a more secure Middle East. It is crucial to implement it with determination,” he added. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer warmly welcomed the agreement, describing it as a hugely important step forward in ending the war, ensuring regional stability and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He specifically congratulated President Trump and the mediators from Pakistan, Qatar and elsewhere who have contributed to this breakthrough. Starmer stressed the need for the full implementation of the memorandum of understanding to ensure permanent freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and to finalise details of the nuclear agreement. New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters welcomed the deal, calling it a step towards reducing tensions and promoting stability in a region that is critical to global economic security.

That’s what we’re calling for, and that’s what we will continue to press for. … We’re not a central player in the Middle East, as we have said.
