By way of introduction, I am from the Government Technology Agency of Singapore and would like to kindly request for a meeting with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications on 15 or 16 June. We would like to kindly request for a visit to MEAC’s Digital Identity team to understand your approach to policy making as well as managing of trust services. The delegation will be led by the Assistant Chief Executive for Products, Mr Dominic Chan and joined by colleagues from the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office in charge of policy and planning. The delegation could share Singapore’s plans as part of the meeting, if required. GovTech has the mandate to develop technology for the Singapore Government including digital services for citizens and businesses of strategic importance. This includes Singapore’s National Digital Identity. We regularly review our Digital Identity plans and hope to learn from leading countries such as Estonia your implementation plans and lessons learnt from eID. If agreeable, we hope to visit on Thur 15 June or Fri 16 Jun. Understand that the request is coming at short notice and appreciate if you could accommodate the request please. The delegation is planning to attend the Identity Week event at Amsterdam on 13/14 June. We look forward to your favorable reply and happy to answer any questions you may have. A concurrent request has been sent to the Information System Authority. Thank you.

We can then make recommendations, and subject to your approval, we can help you to arrange those meetings, working closely with your colleagues at the Embassy. Please also do let us have an approved photograph of Minister so that we can include it in our conference materials. On the flights, we had discussed the various options, so please let us know what you decide with your colleagues. I have included the updated programme in this email. I understand that Minister Sutt is meeting Minister Makishima on Friday, and I’m very pleased to note that she will be speaking virtually on the same panel as him! And again, please do let us know if we can be helpful in any way to make Minister Sutt’s visit a success.

Thank you so much for your e-mail to our Ambassador. Nice to e-meet you. We are very happy for all the assistance your team can provide to our Minister’s visit. I am sure it will be a great visit with good discussions. I will get back to you with more information before the end of this week. I apologise for the delay. We are very grateful for your kind offer to cover Minister+ 1 flights and accommodation+ transfers. Can you please let me know how we proceed with flights. We kindly ask you to cover their business class flights as the flight time is quite tiring and long. Should we book the flights ourselves and then send you an invoice or is there another procedure for this arrangement? Thank you so much in advance. We were also thinking about setting up some additional meetings for our Minister. I really appreciate your help with this. I can send you more information about it by the end of the week. I am looking forward to working with you.
