SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will visit Jakarta for his second Singapore-Indonesia leaders’ retreat with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Monday (Jul 6).
The retreat reaffirms bilateral ties and both governments’ commitment to deepening cooperation, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement on Sunday.
