Speaking in advance of the visit, HE Antony Phillipson, the British High Commissioner in Singapore, said:
The visit to Singapore this week by Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London will highlight the deep and enduring links between Singapore and London. His support for the FinTech trade mission, and the make up of the delegation that is travelling with him, illustrates the scope for developing those links still further in key sectors for both our countries.
His call on Singapore’s Prime Minister will also continue the high level engagement between us, including the visits to the UK this year by both President Tony Tan and PM Lee and visits to Singapore by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in February 2014 as well as several other Ministers and senior officials.
