SINGAPORE, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Singapore's Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Thursday that the United States' military intervention in Venezuela is a concern for small countries like Singapore.

Lee made the remarks during the Regional Outlook Forum 2026 when asked how Singapore views the situation in Venezuela.

"The longer-term consequences on the international system -- I think -- that is something which we have to worry about. From the point of view of a small country, if that is the way the world works, we have a problem," Lee said.

Voicing Singapore's grave concern over the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, Lee said Singapore is against military intervention in other countries because "this is contrary to international law, is contrary to UN Charter."
