Outstanding issues include airspace, water and the delimitation of maritime boundaries, he said at a joint press conference with his Malaysian counterpart Anwar Ibrahim, at the conclusion of the 11th Malaysia-Singapore Leaders' Retreat.
The two men, who are also the finance ministers of their respective governments, met on Jan 6 and 7 in Putrajaya, Malaysia, for the annual retreat. This year marks 60 years of diplomatic relations between both countries.
The pair witnessed the exchange of an agreement on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). Both countries also pledged to collaborate in areas such as education, energy and shared heritage.
It is PM Wong's first such retreat since assuming the role of prime minister in May 2024.
On outstanding bilateral issues, PM Wong said both countries will continue to engage in good faith and as good neighbours, making sure these "do not ever" detract from the overall relationship.
"These are all important issues for both our countries. We will continue to discuss these issues holistically and constructively within the overall context of our broader relationship," said PM Wong.
"I'm confident that working together, we can develop durable outcomes on all of these issues with a balance of benefit on both sides."
Asked about the current status of these issues, PM Wong said that since his introductory visit in June 2024, officials have met to discuss them.
