Letter from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison
19 May 2019
Dear Prime Minister Morrison,
Warmest congratulations on the Coalition’s well-fought victory at Australia’s federal elections, and on your election as Prime Minister!
Singapore and Australia share a robust and longstanding relationship, and cooperate closely across a broad spectrum of areas including defence, trade, science and innovation, and people-to-people exchanges. Our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership has deepened significantly in recent years, and I look forward to continue working with you to strengthen existing links, and to explore new areas of collaboration such as in the digital economy. I hope that you will be able to visit Singapore officially this year to attend the annual Singapore-Australia Leaders’ Summit so that we can discuss these issues further.
I wish you the very best of health and success, and look forward to seeing you soon.
Yours sincerely,
LEE HSIEN LOONG
The Honourable Scott Morrison MP
Prime Minister
Commonwealth of Australia
