Had a good meeting with former Japanese PM Kishida Fumio. We exchanged views on regional and international developments, and the importance of countries cooperating to uphold an open, inclusive, and rules-based international order amidst a changing global environment. 

Singapore and Japan have built a strong partnership over the 60 years of diplomatic relations. I look forward to deepening our bilateral ties in the future. [go.gov.sg/2s1gs8](http://go.gov.sg/2s1gs8)
