Lawrence Wong makes first-ever visit by Singapore PM to Timor-Leste

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong made his first official visit to Timor-Leste on Thursday (Jul 2), marking the first visit by a Singapore prime minister to Southeast Asia's newest ASEAN member.

Mr Wong, who is also finance minister, attended a welcome ceremony at the Presidential Palace in the capital, Dili, before meeting President Jose Ramos-Horta.

During his two-day visit, Mr Wong will also be conferred the Order of Timor-Leste — the country's highest honour — in recognition of Singapore's contributions to Timor-Leste's national development and its support for the country's accession to ASEAN. #singapore #sgnews #timorleste
