President Tharman Shanmugaratnam met with King Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar on his first state visit to Malaysia.
Both leaders encouraged the countries to expand ways to strengthen people-to-people relations, including among younger generations of Singaporeans and Malaysians, as well as forge deeper cooperation in areas such as renewable energy and sustainable development.
Singapore and Malaysia are “leaning forward” on ASEAN matters and share a vision for the regional grouping to become a powerhouse for green energy and data centres, said President Tharman to Singapore media on the last day of his visit.
