Several documents were adopted at the summit, said Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in a statement on June 18.

These included the Kazan Declaration, which reviews the progress of ASEAN-Russia relations over the past 35 years and charts the direction for future cooperation. It calls for strengthened cooperation in various areas including maritime, trade and investment, energy, connectivity, security, education, and culture.

There is also a Joint Statement on Cultural Cooperation, which calls for deeper people-to-people ties and enhanced cultural exchanges, and the ASEAN-Russia Comprehensive Plan of Action (2026–2030) to guide practical cooperation for the next five years.

[Singapore] has condemned Russia’s attacks and said that its invasion of Ukraine is a violation of international law ... "Singapore has taken the position we did on Ukraine ... because of our consistent commitment to the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries,” [PM Wong] said.

It's an important detail, and we should note that Putin complained about the sanctions Singapore has imposed on Russia because of the Ukraine war. It was also Putin who requested this 'summit' as he reportedly runs out of options in his desperate effort to rescue Russia's economy (or, better, what remains left).
