Phnom Penh (FN), Aug. 7 – Singaporean prime minister Lee Hsien Loong sent a congratulatory letter to Hun Manet on his appointment as Cambodian prime minister, according to Singaporean Foreign Ministry on Monday (Aug.7).

“On behalf of the Government of Singapore, I congratulate you on your appointment as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Singapore and Cambodia have longstanding and friendly ties. Our bilateral relationship has grown since our last meeting in 2018, when you visited Singapore as the 64th Lee Kuan Yew Exchange Fellow. We have stepped up cooperation in trade and investments, technical assistance, as well as military-to-military exchanges under your leadership as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Army. We have also expanded collaboration in new and emerging areas, such as the export of renewable energy to Singapore and the trading of carbon credits. Our countries should continue to explore expanding collaboration in areas such as climate change and digitalisation.

I look forward to working with you and your team to continue strengthening our cooperation, both bilaterally and at multilateral fora. I also look forward to meeting you in-person at the upcoming 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta this September.”
