Dear Prime Minister Kishida,
Congratulations on the victory of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan in the Lower House elections on 31 October 2021. The win reflects the Japanese people’s continued trust and confidence in your party, as well as in your vision and leadership of Japan amidst these challenging times.
The longstanding partnership between Singapore and Japan is characterised by close and friendly people-to-people ties, as well as substantive cooperation across many sectors, including trade and investment, connectivity, digitalisation and ageing societies. I am confident that our relations will grow even closer as we work together to help our peoples and economies emerge stronger from the pandemic. I also look forward to working with you to continue our robust partnership in ASEAN as well as in other regional and multilateral fora.
I wish you good health and success, and hope to meet you again soon.
