Lee Hsien Loong Instagram – Pleased to meet Lao PM Sonexay Siphandone and his delegation in Singapore today. We have met several times before at @asean Summits.
This year, Singapore and Laos commemorate 50 years of diplomatic relations. PM Sonexay and I welcomed our growing ties, and emerging areas of cooperation such as carbon credits. We also discussed renewable energy trading under the Lao PDR–Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore Power Integration Project. With its tremendous hydropower potential, Laos is well-placed to become the “Battery of ASEAN”.
Laos is also the 2024 ASEAN Chair. We underscored the importance of making progress on the ASEAN Power Grid, and advancing the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific.
I wish PM Sonexay a successful ASEAN Summit ahead. – LHL
