Government quality, capability set successful nations apart in a contested world: Chan Chun Sing
Speaking at the inaugural Singapore-Vietnam Strategic Dialogue, Mr Chan said both countries feel the shifts in the rules-based international order acutely.
Coordinating Minister for Public Services Chan Chun Sing emphasized at the Singapore-Vietnam Strategic Dialogue that the quality and capability of a nation's government will set successful nations apart in a world where the rules-based international order is weakening and geopolitical competition is rising. In his opening remarks, Chan stressed that strong institutions enable countries to anticipate change and adapt to external shocks.
He highlighted the importance of policy consistency, regulatory effectiveness, and the quality of the public service in economic competitiveness, noting that businesses consider these factors when deciding on long-term investments and locations. Chan also stressed the need for governments to gain the confidence and trust of their people, as public trust enables them to build consensus, mobilize society, and undertake difficult reforms that may only become apparent years later.
