A Meeting of Minds: A conversation between Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister, Republic of Singapore and Steve Forbes, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, Forbes Media LLC Singapore’s Prime Minister engaged in “A Meeting of Minds” dialogue with Steve Forbes at the opening night gala dinner on October 28th. The Prime Minister gave his views on the impact of global economic and geopolitical concerns on Asia’s economies. He spoke of ASEAN’s efforts to integrate into an economic region next year in efforts to promote economic cooperation and remove barriers. As this year’s conference focused on the theme of “The Next Horizon”, Prime Minister reflected on his 10-year leadership of Singapore, as the nation reaches its 50th anniversary of independence in 2015. In his remarks, Prime Minister encouraged Singaporeans to keep striving towards a bright future with insight and confidence: “Looking forward beyond the 50th anniversary, I think that is what Singapore needs to do, to be aware, to be paranoid so you always know that somebody can take your lunch away, but at the same time to have the confidence that I have a good base, I am in a strong position and I am determined to do better and I think that is what we need Singaporeans to think and to feel.”
