Singapore welcomes Middle East ceasefire

It called for lasting resolution and protection of shipping lanes.

Singapore welcomed the announcement of a two-week ceasefire in the Middle East and called on all parties to adhere to the truce and restore safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

In comments issued on 8 April, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said the ceasefire was an important step towards de-escalation and commended the efforts of mediators, particularly Pakistan. Singapore also urged all parties to halt attacks on non-belligerent states and negotiate in good faith towards a lasting resolution.

The ministry said Singapore further welcomed the commitment under the ceasefire to restore shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy and trade route.

It called on all parties to uphold their obligations under international law, restore safe and unimpeded transit passage through the strait in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and ensure the safety of seafarers and ships.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
