Am in Jakarta to attend President Jokowi’s inauguration. Congratulations! May our partnership continue to flourish & may the friendship between Singapore & Indonesia long continue to strengthen! 🇸🇬🇲🇨

Made a courtesy call on President Jokowi at the Istana Merdeka earlier in the morning before the inauguration ceremony.

இனிய தீபாவளி வாழ்த்துகள்! A happy Deepavali to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights! May the light of this festive period bring warmth, health & prosperity to your homes!

Glad to be back in Bangkok for the 35th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits. Signed an MOU with FIFA to foster closer cooperation in the development of football in the region!

With some of the young MFA staffers at the ASEAN Summit in Bangkok. Good to see everyone in high spirits despite the gruelling schedule. Carry on the good work and keep flying the flag high! 🇸🇬

The school holidays are finally here! Hope students & teachers take the time to relax & spend time with friends & families. Do explore our parks and waterways too. Have a good break! :)

Hola from Mexico! It is an honour to visit this historic city to call on President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. We work well together, and I am looking forward to keep our ties moving forward.

It was a public holiday in Mexico so I visited Teotihuacan, the site of an ancient city. It dates back to 100 BC to 650 AD & was one of the biggest cities in the world before it mysteriously collapsed.

Mexico marks Revolution Day on the 3rd Mon of Nov. This day commemorates the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910. Visited some cultural sites & also saw many out enjoying their national holiday.

Had very good meetings with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador & his team at the Palacio Nacional. Happy to explore new ways to improve our bilateral relationship.

From Mexico to Seoul — Annyeonghaseyo! Look forward to meetings with President Moon Jae-in, the ASEAN-ROK Summit, and some good, brisk weather!

Held positive discussions with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. We agreed to broaden our bilateral cooperation to include areas such as smart cities, medical and biotechnology, smart grids, intellectual property, and cybersecurity.

Was lucky to spot this glorious burst of colour at Gyeongui Line Forest Park, as the autumn foliage in many areas in Seoul had already fallen.

While in Seoul having meetings with President Moon Jae-in, I also got to explore parts of the city that I have never been to before.

Went jalan jalan at Gardens by the Bay’s annual Christmas Wonderland display. They have organised this for many years, and I’m glad to see its enduring popularity continue!

Marina Bay is usually aglow with lights, but it is especially luminous during the Christmas season. A peaceful and joyous Christmas to one and all! 🎄

Like many, I ventured out to Gardens by the Bay to watch the spectacular annular solar eclipse today. The skies were a little cloudy, but fortunately at the critical moment the sun (and moon) peeped through!

On the last day of 2019, it is a good time to look back at the past year and look forward to a new one. Watch my New Year Message in 4 languages here: bit.ly/NYM2020. A very Happy New Year to all!
