He noted that bilateral business ties are strong and are projected to become even stronger in the years ahead: "Our business-to-business ties are strong. Israel is the second largest contributor of foreign direct investments in Singapore from the Middle East, and we admire your technical prowess and ecosystem. You have the highest number of scientists, technicians, technologists and engineers per capita in the world. You have the third highest number of patents per capita, and I know that many Singaporean firms are interested in doing business with you."
Nevertheless, Lee said Singapore is watching "carefully from a distance the Israel-Palestine problem and the Middle East peace process, and the progress or lack of progress on these issues."
