Dear Prime Minister Muhyiddin,


Congratulations on being sworn in as Malaysia’s 8th Prime Minister.

 
Malaysia and Singapore share a deep, long-standing relationship. We are connected by history, geography and close bonds of friendship and kinship. Over the years, Singapore has cooperated with successive Malaysian governments in a wide range of areas, for mutual benefit. You would be familiar with many of these projects, from your previous appointments in the Federal Government as well as the Menteri Besar of Johor. I am confident that our bilateral relationship will continue to thrive and flourish under your leadership as Prime Minister of Malaysia.

  I appreciate having the chance to speak to you on the phone yesterday, amidst your many urgent preoccupations. I wish to reiterate my invitation to you to make an official visit to Singapore, at your earliest convenience. There are many areas our two countries can move forward on together, in the current challenging external environment.

Ho Ching and I send our best wishes for your good health and happiness. We look forward to meeting you and Puan Sri Datin Noorainee again soon.

 
Yours sincerely,
LEE HSIEN LOONG


Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
Prime Minister
Malaysia
