Cultural exchanges play an important role in strengthening Singapore-Australia ties, the prime ministers of both countries affirmed at the launch of an exhibition at the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) on Saturday (Jun 3).
Speaking at the opening of the ACM's Ghost Nets of the Ocean exhibition - which features work by artists from Australia's indigenous Erub community - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong elaborated on how such cultural exchanges were important.
"Yesterday at lunch I spoke about how we have taken our bilateral cooperation forward with the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership," he said. "Arts and cultural exchanges play a role in strengthening our people-to-people ties."
