The heading of this article was taken from the book From Third World to First: The Story of Singapore 1965-2000 , the memoir of the late Lee Kuan Yew, the father of Singaporean Prime Minister Hsien Loong, who met with President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on Bintan Island on Tuesday to witness the historic signing of three agreements on defense cooperation, extradition and flight information region (FIR) concerns.
Speaking at a joint press conference, President Jokowi said, "Going forward, we hope that the cooperation in law enforcement, aviation safety, as well as the defense and security of the two countries will continue to be strengthened based on the principle of mutual benefit.”
PM Lee expressed confidence that "these agreements take into account both parties’ interests, represent a good balance of benefits, are durable agreements for the long haul designed to last for at least a generation and create a solid foundation to move bilateral relations forward with confidence and trust".
