Taipei, Nov. 30 (CNA) Taiwan cherishes its long-standing relations with Singapore, the Presidential Office spokesman said Wednesday, in the wake of an incident in which Singaporean armored vehicles were seized in Hong Kong in transit from Taiwan.

Alex Huang (黃重諺) said that the Singaporean government has issued a statement confirming that there were no problems with the vehicles or the shipment.

“We highly value and cherish” the friendship between Taiwan and Singapore, Huang said.

His remarks came after Hong Kong customs officers on Nov. 23 reportedly seized containers carrying armored vehicles that were being shipped back to Singapore after a military training mission.    [FULL  STORY]
