SINGAPORE -- Singapore will "significantly enhance" its airport and seaport capacity to remain a key economic node as competition for investments and talent intensifies in Asia, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong told Nikkei Asia in a written interview.

The heir apparent to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong noted that the international competition for investments "will get tougher," stressing the city-state will double down on its strengths as an open economy.
