The Singapore prime minister pledged to set up a ‘regular consultation mechanism’ with the newest Asean member during his visit to Dili
The visit, the first by a Singapore prime minister, comes a year after East Timor became a full Asean member.
Wong laid out several areas where the two countries could take their cooperation to the “next level”.
Foreign ministers Vivian Balakrishnan and Bendito dos Santos Freitas would set up a “regular consultation mechanism” to discuss bilateral, regional and international developments, giving both governments “a platform for closer coordination”, Wong said.
