Malacañang on Monday announced that Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will undertake his first official bilateral visit to the Philippines from June 4 to 5, following his recent reappointment in May.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Wong are set to hold a bilateral meeting on June 4, where they are expected to reaffirm the strong ties between the Philippines and Singapore and explore cooperation in areas such as healthcare, climate change mitigation, and civil service development.
Wong’s two-day visit comes at the invitation of Mr. Marcos, marking his introductory trip to the country since assuming the premiership.
This also represents his first official foreign engagement since securing a renewed mandate last month.
The two leaders will also discuss regional political and economic developments.
Singapore was the Philippines’ eighth-largest trading partner in 2024 and currently hosts an estimated 220,000 Filipino nationals.
The last official visit by a Singaporean prime minister to the Philippines was in 2017.
