Your Highness,

On behalf of the people of Singapore, I would like to convey my warmest congratulations on Your Highness' election as the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Singapore and the UAE enjoy excellent relations, underpinned by many shared interests as small outward-looking nations. The Singapore-UAE Comprehensive Partnership that we established in 2019 during Your Highness' visit to Singapore has laid a strong foundation for both countries to further broaden and deepen cooperation.

I look forward to working with Your Highness to enhance the strong partnership between our two countries. I wish Your Highness continued good health and success.

Yours sincerely,
HALIMAH YACOB
