President Chen broke the silence after Lee left, stating at a function in honor of model public servants that he and Lee Kuan Yew had reached three agreements, namely that Singapore and Taiwan should: (1) sign a "Singapore-Taiwan Free Trade Zone Agreement"; (2) lend impetus to financial cooperation, especially a possible exchange rate agreement; and (3) effect telecommunication and Internet alliances.
不過所有的沉默，在李光耀離華之後，由陳水扁總統首先打破。陳總統利用接見全國模範公務人員的場合表示，他與李光耀彼此達成三點共識，包括台灣與新加坡共同推動雙方簽署自由貿易區協定；推動金融合作，尤其在外匯協定上將有新作法；推動電信、資訊、網際網路策略聯盟。
