He expressed his hope that the two countries will strengthen their exchange and cooperation by complementing each other and giving a boost to scientific and technological innovations.

Hu pointed out that talents are essential in achieving scientific and technological progress and China is willing to further strengthen exchange and cooperation with Singapore in this fold.
