SINGAPORE - A digital agreement between Singapore and the European Union could help align standards for digital vaccine certificates and so facilitate cross-border travel, said Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong on Tuesday (May 25).
It could also enable mutual recognition of digital identity regimes and allow businesses to easily verify cross-border customers, said Mr Gan.
The minister was speaking at the Sweden-South-east Asia Business Reset Summit 2021 at Capella Hotel.
The agreement could help Singapore and European countries, including Sweden, seize new growth opportunities in the digital economy, which will support overall economic recovery from the pandemic, said Mr Gan.
