He also emphasised the importance of maintaining strong relationships in navigating global politics.
The dialogue session was highly interactive, with students eagerly posing thought-provoking questions. Mr. Anderson responded with remarkable depth and clarity, offering valuable perspectives that enriched the students' understanding of global affairs and Singapore’s diplomatic strategies. His articulate explanations and real-world examples brought abstract concepts to life, making the discussion both engaging and educational.
