Clara Chappaz 女士，法国人工智能与数字事务部长级代表，
各位同事与朋友，
女士们、先生们，
Bonjour à tous。感谢各位邀请我出席今天的法新前沿技术论坛。
适逢新加坡与法国建立外交关系60周年，双边合作即将迈上新台阶。今天早些时候，总理黄循财与总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙宣布将双边关系升级为全面战略伙伴关系。双方同意在前沿技术、贸易与国防等领域加强合作。法国是首个与新加坡建立此类伙伴关系的欧洲国家。这体现了我们之间独特的纽带，以及在人工智能（AI）和量子技术等领域共同开辟新路径的共同抱负。
我们之间的紧密联系，建立在对共同目标的一致承诺之上。
其中之一是我们都希望促进创新。新加坡是科技企业成长与创新的枢纽。我们的规则可预期、清晰明确。企业可以放心，其知识产权将受到保护，并可享有进入新市场的机会。法国企业已认识到这一点，目前已有逾2,600家在新加坡运营。
新加坡同样致力于以负责任的方式开发和部署AI等技术，造福本地企业与公民。法国同样承诺以负责任的方式推动创新。今年2月，马克龙总统宣布私营部门将对法国国内AI产业投入逾1,000亿欧元。
在新加坡持续发展科技生态系统与数字基础设施的过程中，我们很高兴法国一直是我们的重要伙伴之一。
许多人都知道 Mistral AI 计划在新加坡设立办事处。除此之外，Mistral AI 还与本地龙头企业之一 ST Engineering 签署了谅解备忘录（MOU），在应用AI工程领域建立合作伙伴关系。
空客（Airbus）、资讯通信媒体发展局（IMDA）以及经济发展局下属的新加坡国家航天办公室——空间技术与产业办公室，将合作推动新加坡非地面网络（Non-Terrestrial Network）技术的发展，并支持在新加坡创新生态系统内开展更深层次的研究合作。
与法国一样，新加坡也通过建立卓越中心和研发中心，利用AI及其他数字技术改造现有产业。
其中一个中心将于今日正式启动。长期深耕新加坡航空航天、国防与安全领域的泰雷兹（Thales）将在新加坡设立全球AI加速器。这一新中心名为 CortAIx 中心，旨在为关键环境开发AI解决方案并提升研发能力。在此开发的解决方案将惠及该公司的全球网络。
两国的另一项共同承诺是投资研发，例如机器人与量子领域。法国在这一领域一直是我们珍视的合作伙伴，我们希望与你们携手做更多工作。例如，新加坡国家量子办公室（NQO）与法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）扩大了在量子研究领域的合作，尤其是量子能量学与光子学方向。这将增进双方在量子计算机、量子传感器以及量子安全通信系统开发方面的共同知识积累。CNRS 还将通过其在 NUS Create 设立的中心参与新加坡国家机器人计划，以加强具身AI领域的研究。这一合作获得了2,000万新加坡元的资金支持。
放眼全球，新加坡和法国都是多边主义的坚定倡导者。我们信奉多边主义，为之积极发声，并始终坚守立场。
当今世界日趋纷乱、难以预测。然而，新加坡和法国始终坚持支持开放、包容的贸易体系。《欧盟-新加坡数字贸易协定》（EUSDTA）近日在法国等志同道合贸易伙伴的支持下正式签署。尽管关税引发的不确定性持续存在，在新加坡运营的法国企业仍可继续受益于东盟自由贸易区，这使在新加坡的法国企业能够以更具竞争力的成本向区域内出口商品并从区域内采购。
我们对多边主义的支持，也体现在双方在可持续发展领域的共同努力上。
新加坡和法国致力于在《巴黎协定》框架下采取有效气候行动，并就如何加快向绿色经济转型开展了合作。本次论坛的主题之一恰为清洁能源与净零路径，实属贴切。我们也对法国能源企业 ENGIE 与 SBS Transit 为降低公共交通碳足迹而建立的合作伙伴关系表示欢迎。
我们真诚地相信，正是通过这类切实可见的项目，我们才能展示超越各自利益、共同为现实世界作出贡献的必要性与能力。
结语
最后，过去60年来，两国双边关系始终坚实稳固。
展望未来，我相信新加坡与法国将深化友谊，共同塑造一个创新、包容、可持续的未来。
Merci Beaucoup！

Madame Clara Chappaz, French Minister Delegate for AI and Digital Affairs,
Colleagues and Friends,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Bonjour à tous. Thank you for having me at today’s France-Singapore Frontier Technologies Forum.
As Singapore and France mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations, our collaboration is set to reach new heights. Earlier today, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and President Emmanuel Macron announced the upgrade of our bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. We have agreed to step up our cooperation in areas such as frontier technologies, trade and defence. France is the first European state to have such a partnership with Singapore. This reflects our unique bond and shared ambition to chart new paths in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies.
Our close ties have been forged on shared commitment to similar goals.
The first of these is that we both want to boost innovation. Singapore is a hub for technology companies to grow and innovate. Our rules are predictable and clear. Businesses can be assured that their intellectual property will be protected, and they can enjoy access to new market opportunities. French enterprises have recognised this, and over 2,600 now operate here.
Singapore is also committed to the responsible development and deployment of technologies like AI for the benefit of our businesses and citizens. France is similarly committed to advancing innovation in a responsible manner. In February, President Macron announced over €100 billion in investments in its domestic AI industry, by the private sector.
As Singapore grows our tech ecosystem and digital infrastructure, we are happy that France has been one of our key partners.
Many of you are aware of Mistral AI’s plan to set up an office in Singapore. Beyond that, Mistral AI has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ST Engineering, one of our local champions, to form a partnership in applied AI engineering.
Airbus, the Infocomm Media Development Authority and the Office for Space Technology and Industry, Singapore's national space office under Economic Development Board, will cooperate to advance the development of Non-Terrestrial Network technologies in Singapore and support deeper research collaborations within Singapore's innovation ecosystem.
Like France, Singapore also uses AI and other digital technologies to transform existing industries, through the establishment of Centres of Excellence and R&D centres.
One such Centre will be launched today. Thales – which has long been involved in Singapore’s aerospace, defence and security sector - will set up a global AI accelerator in Singapore. This new Centre, which is known as the CortAIx Centre, aims to develop AI solutions for critical environments and strengthen R&D capabilities. Solutions developed here will benefit the company’s global network.
Another shared commitment between both our countries is to invest in R&D, such as in robotics and quantum. France has been a valued partner in this area, and we want to do more together with you. For example, Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO) and France’s National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) expanded their cooperation in quantum research, particularly quantum energetics and photonics. This will increase our shared knowledge on the development of quantum computers and sensors as well as quantum-safe communication systems. Through its Centre at NUS Create, CNRS will also take part in Singapore's National Robotics Programme to strengthen research in embodied AI. This collaboration is supported with funding of SGD 20 million.
Looking beyond our own shores, Singapore and France are both strong proponents of multilateralism. We believe in it, we advocate for it, and we stand by it.
Our world is becoming more fractious and unpredictable. Yet, Singapore and France have continued to support an open and inclusive trading system. The EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement (EUSDTA) was recently signed with the support of like-minded trading partners like France. While tariff-induced uncertainties persist, French businesses operating in Singapore can continue to benefit from the ASEAN Free Trade Area, which makes it more cost-effective for French businesses in Singapore to export and source goods from the region.
Our support for multilateralism can also be seen in our joint efforts in sustainability.
Singapore and France are committed to effective climate action under the Paris Agreement and have collaborated on ways to accelerate our shift to a greener economy. It is fitting that one of the themes of this Forum is clean energy and the path to net zero. We also welcome the partnership between French energy company ENGIE and SBS Transit to reduce the carbon footprint of public transport.
We do sincerely believe that it is through these kinds of tangible projects that we can demonstrate the necessity for and the ability to reduce our interests and contribute to the real world.
Conclusion
In closing, our countries’ bilateral ties have remained steadfast and strong for the past 60 years.
As we look to the future, I am confident that Singapore and France will deepen our friendship and shape a future that is innovative, inclusive and sustainable.
Merci Beaucoup!
