Letter from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe


25 July 2019


Dear Prime Minister Abe,

My warmest congratulations on the Liberal Democratic Party’s victory at the House of Councillors election on 21 July 2019. The strong mandate is a reflection of the people’s trust and confidence in your administration.

Singapore and Japan enjoy an excellent and multi-faceted relationship. I look forward to continue working with you to further enhance our ties, and pursue new areas of collaboration such as innovation, smart city and infrastructure development in the region.

Please also allow me to take this opportunity to convey my deepest condolences on the recent fire attack on a Kyoto animation studio, which resulted in a tragic loss of so many young and talented people. I am confident that the resilience of the Japanese people will see you through this difficult time.

I wish you good health and success, and look forward to seeing you again.


Yours sincerely


Lee Hsien Loong


His Excellency Shinzo Abe
Prime Minister
Japan
