In his talks with Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Xi said development of China-Singapore relations is closely related to China's reform and opening-up policy.

With socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, Xi said, the two countries should make new strategic plans for the development of bilateral relations.

The two sides should work together on major projects and enhance cooperation under the Belt and Road framework, Xi said.

The president said he hoped Singapore would play a positive role in building a community of a shared future for China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Lee said Singapore supports the building of an international system based on international rules.

Policies unveiled at the Communist Party of China's 19th National Congress last year and the two sessions in March reflect China's visionary plan for its development, he said.

Singapore is dedicated to deepening ties with China, working together on major projects and cooperating under the Belt and Road, he said.
