SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and US President Donald Trump spoke over the phone on Friday (Jan 2) and reaffirmed the two countries\u2019 partnership as they mark 60 years of diplomatic ties in 2026.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Jan 2, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said the two leaders reaffirmed the enduring strength of the mutually beneficial partnership between Singapore and the United States, which spans multiple domains.<\/p>\n
PM Wong and Trump said they looked forward to deepening cooperation in established areas and expanding into new ones, said MFA.<\/p>\n
PM Wong also thanked Trump for inviting Singapore to the Group of 20 (G-20) Summit, which the US will be hosting in Miami, Florida, in December.<\/p>\n
\u201cSingapore looks forward to contributing to the US\u2019 G-20 agenda, and advancing economic growth for all,\u201d said MFA.<\/p>\n
The G-20 comprises 19 countries, the European Union and the African Union, which rotate hosting the event. South Africa was the host in 2025.<\/p>\n
After Trump was sworn in for his second term as US president in January 2025, PM Wong had noted that the US was one of the first nations to recognise Singapore\u2019s independence in 1965, and the partnership between both countries has flourished over the decades. – The Straits Times\/ANN<\/p>\n
