Spokesman recalled that from the very dawn of the head of state expressed condolences to the President of Singapore in connection with the death of Lee Kuan yew" Putin was familiar and they talked several times, " said Sands.- It is very appreciated and this experience, and in General the experience of Lee Kuan yew on economic reform ". Remember, 1st Prime Minister of independent Singapore Lee Kuan yew died on Sunday. In early February, the former Prime Minister was taken with a severe form of pneumonia in the hospital and was connected to the ventilator. Last weekend it was claimed that the state of the 91-year-old politician has continued to deteriorate. Lee Kuan yew became the 1st in the history of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore in 1959 and remained in power for 31 years. Policies retained in the country of the English language and the British legal system. Experts call Lee Kuan yew, one of the founders of Singapore's economic miracle ", because of which the country has become one of the wealthiest countries. In recent years, the dialogue between Russia and Singapore was very active and developed at all levels. Sam Lee Kuan yew went to the Russian Federation almost every year, high-ranking Russian officials, too, were frequent guests in Singapore. The main event in bilateral relations was the official visit to Singapore in November 2009, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's first visit to this Asian country at this level in recorded history of relations between 2 countries. In this case, apparently, the intensive contacts between Russia and Singapore are not limited to ceremonial party and are based on mutual interests. No wonder Singapore became one of the few countries that have close economic and political ties with the US, which has not succumbed to the pressure of the capital of the United States or entered against Russia punishment after the acute drop in the Ukraine.
