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.
