Singapore and China have both agreed to launch a “fast lane” arrangement in June pertaining to travel for essential business and official purposes.
This arrangement is to ensure that there are effective COVID-19 prevention and control measures. The provinces who are eligible are – Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
“The arrangement will be gradually expanded to the other Chinese provinces and municipalities. Both sides agreed to explore the increase of air links between the two countries for the Fast Lane,” MFA said.
“Both sides attached great significance to securing the connectivity of production and supply chains, and agreed to level up the efficiency of freight linkages and customs clearance, including facilitating the flow of goods such as essential medical supplies and food.” CNA
