An Inaugural Visit

The 2018 Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Summit in Singapore sent 125 YSEALI participants from all 10 member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the United States on a tour of American businesses that are technology and innovation leaders in the Indo-Pacific. The InnovateTour of Citi, Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Singapore, nuTonomy, Procter & Gamble, Unilever and Verizon gave participants a chance to learn firsthand about the innovative programs and approaches driving these companies. The 2018 YSEALI Summit, which marked the program’s 5th anniversary, was titled “U.S. and ASEAN–Partners in Growth and Innovation.”

Ambassador’s visit highlights socio-economic relations

On Feb. 15, the U.S. Embassy in Singapore’s Foreign Service National Association (FSNA) and American Employee Association (AEA) summoned two playful lions to the Embassy to usher in the Year of the Pig. The traditional lion dance, performed to clanging cymbals and booming drums, is believed to bring prosperity and good luck for the year ahead. In keeping with local Lunar New Year traditions, Chargé d’Affaires Stephanie Syptak-Ramnath and the Embassy community wore red and tossed prosperity salad while offering wishes of good fortune to one another. FSNA and AEA organize various holiday celebrations throughout the year to share cultural traditions between Singaporean and American staff. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Photo courtesy of Embassy Singapore
