1. PAP still “maintain links” with Socialist International
Statement by BG(NS) George Yeo, Chairman of YPAP (on YPAP website): “We need to increase our own awareness of external affairs and to promote friendly links with political parties in other countries, an International Relations Section will be formed. Although we are not part of an international network of fraternal political parties – not since the PAP left the Socialist International – we still maintain links with them.”
