Remembering Mr. Lee Kuan Yew’s Contribution to
ASEAN-China Business
The China-ASEAN Business Association (CABA) conveys its deepest
condolences to the people of Singapore and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
and his family, on the passing of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's Founding
Father and first Prime Minister.
Mr. Lee Kuan Yew has been instrumental in the establishment and
development of the ASEAN-China economic relations. His deep
understanding of Asia, his visionary and strategic approach to the ASEANChina ties and his good rapport with the older generation of ASEAN and
Chinese leaders set the foundation for the impressive growth in trade,
investment, tourism, and business collaboration we are now experiencing.
This has made the two regions a magnet for economic growth in Asia bringing
about prosperity to the people.
“Mr. Lee Kuan Yewʼs passing is a loss to our business community. His
contribution to ASEAN and China business ties are deeply felt and we are
grateful for that. We hope to further strengthen our business cooperation as a
respect to the legacy he has left behind." said Mr. Pushpanathan Sundram,
Chairman of CABA.
