The UK recently welcomed Brigadier Edward Chen, Defence Cyber
Chief of the Singapore Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS), in
a visit focused on strengthening the UK-Singapore relationship in
the cyber domain. During his visit, the Singaporean Defence Cyber
Chief attended the International Institute for Strategic Studies
(IISS) Cyber Power Workshop and participated in bilateral
engagements with key UK stakeholders, including the Ministry of
Defence, the National Cyber Security Centre, and industry
leaders.
This visit took place ahead of the Singapore International Cyber
Week, reflecting the UK's commitment to international
collaboration in the cyber domain, as emphasised by Deputy
Commander Strategic Command, Lt Gen Tom Copinger-Symes:
External relationships are vital in this domain which spans
national and geographic boundaries.
The UK and Singapore are global leaders in cyber and
electromagnetic capabilities, working closely with international
partners to promote a secure and stable digital environment. This
visit built on the UK-Singapore Strategic Partnership established
last September, highlighting the commitment of both nations to
deepen collaboration in areas of mutual interest, including cyber
and emerging technologies. The partnership with Singapore is
crucial to addressing shared cyber challenges and ensuring a
resilient digital future.
