TOKYO — Singapore has been building its food resiliency with buffer stocks and by diversifying its sources, so that it can cope when any single source is disrupted, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday (May 27).

and by diversifying its sources, so that it can cope when any single source is disrupted, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday .

Mr Lee also said that a country can seek redress at the WTO if any rules have been violated, but this will be a long process — and securing the supply of food is an immediate urgency.

Mr Lee also said that in Southeast Asia, the relationships are “progressing”, but in Northeast Asia, Japan’s relationship with Korea is “difficult” — even more so with China.
