SINGAPORE: Visiting former US Vice-President Al Gore called on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Istana on Wednesday.

Mr Gore, who is now an environmental crusader, is in Singapore for two days as a speaker at the Global Brand Forum.

At the meeting, the two discussed the issue of climate change.

They also exchanged views on how the international community can work together to tackle the climate crisis.
