Singapore

    On the occasion of your assuming the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Singapore, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes to your Excellency.

    Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 25 years ago ,China and Singapore have been constantly expanding and deepening their cooperation and exchanges in such areas of economy, trade, investment, finance, science and technology, environmental protection, social governance, cultural and people-to-people relations. The Chinese government attaches great importance to China-Singapore relations. I am ready to closely work with you to further deepen our political mutual trust, bring our comprehensive cooperation to more fruits, step up coordination and cooperation in the international and regional affairs and jointly raise China-Singapore relationship to new heights.

    Wish you every success in the new term.
