The European Chamber of Commerce in Singapore has also distributed a statement of support for Singapore at the European Union Commission written by its president, Mr Federico Donato.

Executive director Nele Cornelis said the letter ‘highlights what the Singapore Government has done over the course of this outbreak, giving assurances to our European partners that this international health crisis is well handled in Singapore’.
