SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will make an official visit to Germany this week, as well as attend the ASEAN-European Union (EU) commemorative summit in Brussels.
He will visit Kiel on Monday (Dec 12) and Tuesday, where he will meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Mr Lee will also officiate the launch of two Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) submarines – Illustrious and Impeccable – with Mr Scholz in attendance.
The submarines will be launched by Mr Lee’s wife as the lady sponsor, said the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).
Mrs Lee, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen and Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan will accompany him on the visit. Officials from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defence and the RSN will also be in attendance.
