Dear Prime Minister Araujo,  

On behalf of the people of Singapore, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you on your appointment as Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.

Timor-Leste has made remarkable progress since its independence in 2002.  I am confident that Timor-Leste will continue to progress under your leadership.

Singapore and Timor-Leste enjoy excellent bilateral relations and have a history of cooperation that predates Timor-Leste’s independence.  I look forward to working with you to further strengthen the ties between our two countries and would like to invite you to make an official visit to Singapore soon.

I wish you every success in your new appointment.

Yours sincerely

LEE HSIEN LOONG

HE Rui Araujo

Prime Minister

Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste
