Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) and the Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho (GOL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today to provide a high level framework for public sector collaboration between Singapore and the Kingdom of Lesotho.

The Kingdom of Lesotho is a land-locked country within South Africa. The Kingdom is interested to exchange knowledge and expertise with Singapore and to understand our developmental experiences in various sectors.
