Coordinating Minister for Public Services and Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing hosted Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles to a late-night meal at Lau Pa Sat.<\/p>\n
Marles, who is also Australia’s Minister for Defence, is in Singapore to attend the 23rd Shangri-La Dialogue (SLD).\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a Facebook video uploaded by Chan on Saturday (May 30), the two leaders were seen clad in casual polo tees for a “late-night” makan<\/em> at the tourist hotspot on Friday.<\/p>\n “Australians know a good barbecue when they see one. That is why I introduced Richard to our version of it – satay and BBQ chicken wings,” wrote Chan.<\/p>\n Their table had a spread of satay, barbecue chicken wings, fried hokkien mee, fried carrot cake, beer and what appears to be sugarcane juice.<\/p>\n “Over the good meal, Richard and I had very fruitful discussions on advancing our defence co-operation, building on the strong progress under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership 2.0<\/a> we forged with Australia last year. There is much more we can achieve together. Here’s to our continued partnership!”<\/p>\n
