Dear Chancellor Merkel

               My congratulations on your party’s success at the 2017 Federal Elections! The German electorate’s endorsement is a vote of confidence in your strong leadership.

               On behalf of the Government of Singapore, I wish you every success as you embark on a new term as Federal Chancellor, and in particular the delicate and critical task of forming a new government. Singapore looks forward to stepping up collaboration with Germany in new frontiers such as connectivity, mobility, cybersecurity, start-ups and renewable energy to further enhance our excellent bilateral ties. There is still much more that we can do together.

               May I also take this opportunity to reiterate my invitation to you to make an Official Visit to Singapore. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Yours sincerely

LEE HSIEN LOONG

Her Excellency Dr Angela Merkel
