Congratulatory Message From PM Lee Hsien Loong to Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (Aug 2014)

11 August 2014

Your Excellency,

Congratulations on your election as the first directly-elected President of the Republic of Turkey. Your decisive victory reflects the confidence of your people in your leadership, and their support for your vision for the country.

I appreciate your personal commitment to relations between Singapore and Turkey. Your visit to Singapore in January, and your agreement to conclude a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, significantly boosted our relations. I look forward to continue working with you to deepen cooperation across many sectors, including in aviation, finance and the G20.

I wish you every success in your new appointment, and hope to visit Turkey soon.

Yours sincerely,

LEE HSIEN LOONG

His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
President-elect and Prime Minister
Republic of Turkey
