Singapore, US ink nuclear cooperation agreement

They have been collaborating on nuclear issues over the past decade.

The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement, commonly known as a “123 Agreement”, based on a mutual commitment to nuclear nonproliferation.

This contract will deepen nuclear cooperation that is consistent with the highest international standards of safety, security, and nonproliferation.

The agreement was inked by Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan and US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken. 

Singapore and the US have been closely collaborating on nuclear matters over the past decade, including in regional and multilateral fora. 

Since 2017, the National Environment Agency and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission have had arrangements, and most recently held a joint workshop in July 2024 under this arrangement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
