第十八屆西博會將于9月16日開幕，作爲此次大會的主賓國，新加坡將帶來哪些精彩的展現？
9月10日，記者對新加坡駐成都總領事陳子勤進行了專訪。
記者：作爲本屆西博會主賓國，新加坡在本屆西博會上有哪些活動？這些活動對“新川”合作有什麽推動作用?
陳子勤：新加坡很高興接受四川省的邀請，擔任第十八屆中國西部國際博覽會的主賓國。新加坡也是西博會首個擔任主賓國的東南亞國家。這體現了四川省重視國際化，突出南向的發展意向，也體現了新加坡和四川之間的深厚友誼及良好的合作關系。
CG Tan: Singapore is happy to accept the invitation from Sichuan Province to be the Country-of-Honour (COH) at the 18th Western China International Fair (WCIF). We are the first Southeast Asian country to do so. This is testament to the province’s increasing focus on its internationalisation efforts with a focus on Southeast Asia, and the strong and longstanding friendship between Singapore and Sichuan.
今年，由于新冠肺炎疫情的影響，我們無法安排來自新加坡國內的訪團參與西博會。但是，新加坡人力部部長兼貿工部第二部長陳詩龍醫生，受李顯龍總理委托，將在9月16日西博會的開幕式上以視頻方式致辭，新加坡駐華大使呂德耀先生也將率團參與大會。新加坡資訊通信媒體發展局代表也將在17日的2021年中國西部國際數字經濟應用合作論壇上發言。
This year, because of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 situation, we are not able to have a visiting delegation from Singapore. However, Singapore Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry Dr Tan See Leng will deliver a speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 18th WICF on 16 September, and Ambassador in Beijing Lui Tuck Yew will also visit Sichuan for this event. A representative from the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) will also be speaking at the 2021 Western China International Digital Economy Cooperation Forum on 17 September.
新加坡和四川還將共同主辦第22次新加坡-四川貿易與投資委員會(SSTIC)年會，會議將于9月17日以視頻連線方式舉行。1996年成立的新川貿投委,是新加坡最早與中國省份建立的經貿理事會之一，爲深化和擴大兩地經貿合作提供了一個高級別的雙邊平台。
Singapore and Sichuan will also hold the 22nd Singapore-Sichuan Trade and Investment Committee (SSTIC) meeting, which will take place virtually on 17 September. Established in 1996, SSTIC is one of Singapore’s earliest business councils with a Chinese province, and remains the only one in Western China. Since its inception, the Committee has provided a high-level bilateral platform to deepen and widen our economic cooperation.
新加坡一直密切關注中國西部地區的最新發展，包括西部地區在中國區域發展戰略中所扮演的角色。成渝雙城經濟圈(CCEC)的建設，和去年公布的新時代推進西部大開發戰略規劃，將進一步推動四川成爲中國西部內陸國際開放中心。
Singapore has been closely following the recent developments in Western China, including its role in China’s regional development strategies such as the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and the Western Region Development Strategy. The timely announcement of the guidelines on advancing Western Region development in a new era in May 2020 will further boost Sichuan’s efforts in becoming an inland international and development hub.
新加坡企業早已在許多領域和行業與四川的夥伴緊密合作。希望新加坡企業未來能在物流、信息通信技術、能源和研發等領域探索新機遇，發揮更好的作用。新加坡在這些領域有不少優秀的企業，相信他們將能夠爲當地的産業生態做出貢獻。我也希望來自新加坡的餐飲和生活品牌能爲成都的國際化風貌增添色彩。我相信，雙方在各領域攜手合作，實現互利共贏，一定會取得更大的成果。
There are many sectors and industries in which Singaporean companies have been working closely with their Sichuanese partners. Moving forward, Singapore hopes that our companies can play a more active role in the province’s logistics, ICT, energy and R&D sectors given Sichuan’s strengths in these sectors. We have many excellent companies involved in these sectors, and are confident that they will be able to contribute to the local ecosystem. We also hope that Singapore brandnames in F&B and lifestyle products will contribute to Chengdu’s cosmopolitan landscape. I am confident that there is more that we can achieve together to cooperate in various sectors for mutual benefit.
記者：作爲主賓國，新加坡此次參展會主要想展示哪些方面的東西？新加坡具體希望通過哪些途徑，參與到新一輪西部大開發的機遇中來？
陳子勤：有10家來自信息通信技術、餐飲、消費品、房地産和物業管理等不同行業的新加坡公司將參加本次西博會的新加坡館。此外，我們也將呈現入駐新川科技園內的新加坡創新中心的幾家新加坡科技創新公司。總領事館還在新加坡國家館內准備了新中和新川關系的介紹。
CG Tan: 10 Singapore companies across various sectors such as ICT, F&B, consumer products, real estate and property management will be participating in the WCIF. They are CapitaLand, Charles & Keith, Founder Bak Kut Teh, Mapletree, NCS, Perennial, Putien, ST Engineering, Yanlord and Yeo Hiap Seng. In addition, we will be showcasing several Singapore technology innovation companies based at the Singapore Innovation Centre in the Singapore-Sichuan Hi-Tech Innovation Park. The Consulate-General has also curated a display of Singapore’s relations with China, and with Sichuan, at the Singapore Pavilion.
不少四川朋友應該知道，上世紀中國對外開放時，凱德置地、仁恒置地和華僑銀行等許多新加坡知名企業就進入四川。近年來也有不少其他新加坡企業到四川發展。這就是爲什麽第18屆西博會新加坡國家館選擇呈現一系列不同領域、不同規模的在川新加坡企業。我們希望四川的觀衆能夠更好地認識到來自新加坡的企業，並繼續給予支持。
Sichuan residents will be aware that many well-known Singapore companies such as CapitaLand, Yanlord and OCBC have invested in Sichuan, when China was opening up to the world several decades ago. However, there are also many other enterprises from Singapore which have also ventured to Sichuan in recent years. This is why the Singapore Pavilion at the 18th WCIF has chosen to include a mix of Singaporean companies across various industries and sizes. We hope that the Sichuan audience will have a better understanding of the broad range of investments from Singapore and continue to lend their support.
