Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore

Singapore

    On the occasion of your assuming a new term of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore, I would like to extend, on behalf of the Chinese government and in my own name, sincere congratulations and best wishes to you.

    Under your outstanding leadership, Singapore has enjoyed sustained economic growth, increasingly improved people's livelihood and made important contributions to peace, stability and prosperity of the region.

    China and Singapore are friendly and close neighbours. Since the establishment of the diplomatic ties 25 years ago, our practical cooperation has been substantially enhanced across the board and produced fruitful outcomes. The Chinese government attaches great importance to friendly and cooperative relationship with Singapore. I am ready to closely work with you to promote China-Singapore relationship to new heights.

    Wish you greater success in the new term.
