By the way, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's planned re-introduction of the devolution of power, announced in his nationally televised speech at the National Day Mass Meeting 2023, marks the devolution of more decision-making powers to the team led by current Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister-designate Wong Chor Chye. The move is intended to ensure continuity and a smooth transition of government.

Lee Hsien Loong denied rumors about "**** interrupting the succession plan" and explained that the previously proposed plan to complete the transfer of power before his 70th birthday was disrupted by the new crown epidemic, and he decided to re-promote the succession plan after the crisis of the epidemic is basically lifted. He said that the epidemic situation has now been effectively controlled, so it is time to put the succession plan on the agenda.

According to Lee Hsien Loong's previous statement, if the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) wins the next general election, Wong Chuan Chye will succeed him as Singapore's next Prime Minister. The next general election will be held in November 2025 at the latest, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Singapore Constitution.

Previously designated as the successor to the Ong Swee Keat due to age and health reasons announced not to serve as Singapore's next prime minister, and as Singapore's response to the new crown epidemic team co-chairman of the Wong Chuan Chye is widely believed to be the most likely successor to the candidate.

Lee Hsien Loong's decision means that the Singapore Government will continue to fulfill its responsibilities with strong and stable leadership to ensure the country's sustainable development in all areas. This resumption of the transfer of power program also reflects the Singapore Government's proactive approach, focusing on continuity of leadership and smooth transition, to lay a solid foundation for the country's future development.

In the face of growing global challenges and changes, international cooperation is critical to advancing sustainable development. His Government called on all countries to strengthen their cooperation in addressing global challenges and advancing the sustainable development goals, which were closely linked to economic growth, social development and environmental protection.
