During the call, the two leaders agreed to establish a strategic partnership as Singapore and South Korea mark 50 years of diplomatic relations in 2025.

In a Facebook post on June 30, Mr Wong said the relationship between the two countries "has grown steadily over the decades".

"We are now upgrading our ties to a strategic partnership, to deepen cooperation in key areas of mutual interest," he added.
