Defense Minister Benny Gantz flew to Singapore last week for a five-day trip, during which he held a series of meetings with high-level government officials.

The destination of his trip is still under a gag order but was revealed by several Israeli media outlets over the weekend.

Singapore has asked that the meeting be kept secret and Israel had agreed to the request,�Times of Israel�reported.

Israel and Singapore established diplomatic ties in 1969. The small country is the second-largest importer of Israeli goods in Asia after India.
