Vice-President Li Yuanchao will represent China at the funeral of Singapore’s founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, on Sunday.

China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying made the announcement in Beijing on Friday afternoon.

Li also represented the country at the funeral of former South African leader Nelson Mandela in December 2013.

Diplomats have been closely watching who China would send to the funeral, as the choice is seen as an indication of the state of relations between the two countries.

President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang sent telegrams to their Singaporean counterparts to express their condolences on Lee’s death. The two leaders have also sent a wreath to the Singaporean embassy in Beijing.

China’s seventh-ranked leader and Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli is so far the most senior Chinese leader to have visited the embassy to pay his respects.

China’s heads of state or Communist Party chiefs have rarely attended the funerals of foreign leaders’ funerals, even those of the founding fathers of communist allies. The only exception was when party chairman and premier Hua Guofeng attended the funeral of Yugoslavian leader Marshal Tito in 1980.
