Your Majesty,
On behalf of the Government and people of Singapore, I offer my warmest congratulations on your inauguration as King of the Netherlands. I am confident that you will rule with wisdom and grace.
I warmly recall our last meeting in Singapore this January, when we had a fruitful discussion on many topics of mutual interest. Singapore and the Netherlands share similar worldviews and enjoy a longstanding friendship underpinned by wide-ranging cooperation in trade and investment, education, defence, science and technology, and environmental conservation. I am confident that, under your reign, we will take our bilateral relations to greater heights.
I wish Your Majesty continued good health and success on the momentous occasion of Your Majesty’s inauguration. Please also accept my best wishes for a joyous Queen’s Day.
Yours sincerely,
LEE HSIEN LOONG
His Majesty King Willem-Alexander
