The 12th Singapore-Malaysia Leaders' Retreat will be held on Dec 4 at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore hotel.
Some roads around the area will be closed for security reasons, the police said in a statement on Dec 1.
The annual retreat between the leaders of both countries is a key platform to tackle longstanding issues and work on new areas of collaboration.
For the previous edition of the retreat on Jan 6 and 7, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong travelled to Putrajaya in Malaysia to meet his Malaysian counterpart Anwar Ibrahim. The pair then announced more progress on discussions about the new Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone.
