SINGAPORE - Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) Singapore has entered 10 agreements to boost economic ties between Singapore and China, it said on Monday.
The bank is part of the pioneer batch of financial institutions to participate in the third government-to-government project between the two nations.
