Part 2/15:

The year commenced with a historic milestone: the swearing-in of Lawrence Wong as Singapore’s fourth Prime Minister on May 14, 2024. His appointment signaled a smooth transition of power within the country’s leadership, following the decision of Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat to step aside in 2021 to allow a younger generation to lead the 4G team.

In his first months in office, Wong has undertaken a demanding agenda that includes engaging with neighboring countries and participating in major international summits. Emphasizing regional stability and cooperation, he has sought to strengthen Singapore’s relationships in Asia and beyond, navigating a complex geopolitical landscape.
