THE Singapore Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Sunday it welcomed Malaysian Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali's initiative to visit Singapore, despite the postponement of an annual bilateral meeting due to a "provocative act" by the chief minister of Johor.

Mr Azmin began a two-day visit yesterday that is set to include meetings with Singapore's National Development Minister, Lawrence Wong, and Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.
