JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): The world is in an unsettled state, making it all the more important for Singapore to double down on relationships with its immediate neighbours, said Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.

Indonesia is “up there” on the list of priorities for Singapore, and work will continue to increase collaboration and deepen ties between the two countries, said Dr Balakrishnan on April 26.
