Glad to have spoken with Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide (菅義偉) over the phone this afternoon. We discussed strengthening cooperation between our countries amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and welcomed the resumption of essential travel between Singapore and Japan.
Singapore and Japan are like-minded partners enjoying a longstanding close relationship. We have many opportunities to work together, e.g. in vaccine multilateralism, third-country infrastructure cooperation, and preparing for the digital economy. We also both support multilateralism and are working to sign the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership by the end of this year.
I look forward to partnering Prime Minister Suga to strengthen ties between our countries, and hope to meet him in person soon. – LHL
