SINGAPORE (AFP): China's President Jiang Zemin arrived in
Singapore yesterday for a three-day state visit aimed at
enhancing bilateral relations and cooperation.

"I hope that this visit will help increase the understanding
and friendship between our two countries and peoples and push our
friendly relations and cooperation forward to a new broader
vista," Jiang said in a written statement.

Jiang met with Singapore's Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew
immediately on arrival and was scheduled to meet with Prime
Minister Goh Chok Tong today.

Singapore is Jiang's first stop in a four-nation Southeast
Asian tour which will take him to Malaysia, Vietnam and
Indonesia. He will attend the summit of the Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation forum in Indonesia on Nov. 14-15.
