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!

Wishing everyone a brilliant and wonderful 2020! Happy New Year!

The beautiful steeple of St Andrew’s Cathedral, framed by the beautiful blue flowers of the butterfly pea plant. Snapped this from the rooftop garden of the revamped Funan Mall.

“Floating City” — a delicate suspended installation in the National Gallery’s Padang Atrium. Part of the Light to Night Festival 2020.

Am in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2020, and also to meet political and business leaders. The world has changed a great deal since I last attended WEF in 2012.

Focussing on tech & helping workers displaced by tech or globalisation: 2 things we are doing in Singapore to mitigate the slowdown in growth caused by US-China tensions. Was speaking at WEF2020.
