三月以来首位到访外宾! 新日商讨恢复双边必要商务旅游
日本外交部长茂木敏充,是狮城自今年3月落实边境管制后,首位到访我国的显要客人。茂木敏充来访三天,主要是洽谈新加坡和日本“绿色通道”,双方也达成共识,恢复必要商务旅游。
茂木敏充获得外交部长维文医生的接待。新加坡和日本探讨放宽入境限制,设立短期商务通道和常驻人员两项绿色通道,这将允许商务人员和跨境就业者,在做足防疫条件的前提下, 往返新日两国。
商务通道将再下月敲定细节,常驻人员通道最快下月落实。这也使得新加坡成为最先恢复与日本商务旅游的国家之一。
短期商务出差下,首14天都要采取必要防疫措施。至于常驻人员方面需限定名额,持有工作证件跨境就业者可返回工作岗位,同样抵境后需遵守包括14天居家通知等防疫措施。
新日外长也商谈区域发展包括确保供应链的连通。总理李显龙也欢迎茂木敏充的到访。双方肯定了新日长期密切双边关系,也讨论如何通过《跨太平洋伙伴全面进展协定》(CPTPP)进一步推广区域经济一体化。
