Israeli war minister Ehud Barak has inaugurated the Zionist regime's pavilion at Singapore's annual Air Show, an Israeli official says.

This is a first visit by an Israeli war minister there. The two countries have had security ties which were not often made public, the source added.

According to the official, Barak is slated to hold talks with Singapore's leaders during his four-day visit.

The two states have had diplomatic ties for nearly 40 years, but their military ties remain shrouded in secrecy.

Barak arrived in Singapore on Monday, accompanied by his wife, his military secretary, and war ministry director Pinchas Bochrim.
