Singapore and China's Jiangsu province are setting up an intelligent robot centre of excellence in Suzhou Industrial Park. It's among the 23 agreements signed between both sides as they mark two decades of cooperation. The aim is to help Singapore tech firms find industrial applications and commercial opportunities in one of China's biggest manufacturing hubs. Jiangsu is one of China's manufacturing powerhouses, with an economy worth nearly US$2 trillion last year — more than three times the size of Singapore's. More than 4,500 Singapore investment projects have been recorded across Jiangsu. Tan Yew Guan reports from Suzhou.
