										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singapore on Monday offered America one of its tanker aircraft to airlift stranded civilians from war-torn Afghanistan, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said as he held talks with US Vice President Kamala Harris during which the two countries signed a number of key agreements to enhance cooperation, including in defence and cybersecurity.</p>
<p>Vice President Harris&#8217; visit to Singapore is part of a diplomatic charm offensive by the Biden administration in Southeast Asia, a region that is crucial to the future prosperity and security of the United States, amidst China&#8217;s aggressive actions in the region.</p>
<p>Harris thanked Lee for the “very generous offer” to assist the US in its evacuations from Afghanistan.</p>
<p>“We look forward to following up on that discussion,” she said.</p>
<p>The A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft of the Singapore Air Force, which attained full operational capability in April, is capable of conducting air-to-air refuelling and airlift roles simultaneously.</p>
<p>It enhances the Singapore Armed Forces&#8217; ability to contribute to international humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions, and peace support operations.</p>
