The Annual Leaders’ Retreat is hosted alternately by Malaysia and Singapore. It serves as the highest-level mechanism for both countries to review the progress of bilateral cooperation, discuss regional and international issues of mutual concern, and explore new opportunities to further strengthen the bilateral partnership between both nations.
During the visit, both Leaders are scheduled to witness the exchange of two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and one Agreement between Malaysia and Singapore, reflecting the expanding scope of collaboration between the two nations. A Leaders’ Joint Statement will be issued at the conclusion of the Retreat.
As close neighbours and key ASEAN partners, Malaysia and Singapore enjoy robust cooperation across multiple sectors. Singapore remains Malaysia’s second-largest trading partner, with bilateral trade amounting to USD78.70 billion (RM339.39 billion) from January to October 2025, representing 13.5 per cent of Malaysia’s total trade. This year also marks 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
