Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on Tuesday that he’d spoken to US president-elect Donald Trump and congratulated him on his election victory in a phone call.
The US-Singapore partnership is “strong and dynamic” and is “built on a deep reservoir of mutual trust and shared interests”, Wong said in a Facebook post about the call.
“I look forward to working with the president and his team to deepen our bilateral ties,” he added.
Wong previously wrote a letter to Trump, congratulating him on the “overwhelming mandate” given to him by the American people.
“I extend my warmest congratulations on your election as the 47th president of the United States of America,” Wong wrote in his letter to the US president-elect on November 6.
“The American people have given you an overwhelming mandate and placed their trust in you to lead the US again. I am confident that under your stewardship, the US will continue to grow and exercise its global leadership role.”
