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
