SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has congratulated Justin Trudeau on his re-election as prime minister following Canada's general election last week.
In a letter dated Oct 24, Mr Lee said it was a hard-earned win for Mr Trudeau, who hung on to power after his Liberal Party won enough seats to form a minority government.
