Congratulatory Letter from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to Prime Minister-elect of New Zealand Christopher Luxon

15 October 2023

Dear Prime Minister-elect,

On behalf of the Government of Singapore, I warmly congratulate you on leading the National Party to victory at the General Election. I am confident that New Zealand will thrive under your leadership amidst the uncertain times ahead.

Singapore and New Zealand enjoy longstanding close relations underpinned by our Enhanced Partnership (EP). As like-minded partners, we have joined hands on many path-finding initiatives such as the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership (P4) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA). I am glad that both sides are stepping up cooperation in strengthening supply chain resilience, which would be mutually beneficial in this increasingly challenging and complex global environment.

I look forward to working closely with you to further strengthen our bilateral ties and cooperation both regionally and internationally. I recall our meeting in June 2022 during your visit to Singapore, and look forward to meeting you again soon.

I wish you and your government every success.

Yours sincerely,

Lee Hsien Loong

The Honourable Christopher Luxon

Prime Minister-elect

New Zealand
