Singapore and China have signed the China-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (CSFTA) Further Upgrade Protocol, which will deepen collaboration between the two countries.

Under the Further Upgrade Protocol, Singapore will secure greater market access to China’s services sectors, including construction, retailing & wholesale, and architectural & urban planning services.

The protocol also paves the way for a new Telecommunications Services Chapter, which will provide clearer rules and enhanced transparency for telecommunications regulatory processes and facilitate industry collaboration for innovation and development.
