Mr Tong's presidency comes to an end next month as he has run the maximum three terms allowed in his country.
He has made his mark telling the world how his low-lying country is at the forefront of nations confronted by rising seas and changing weather patterns.
He said he has had some job offers and was considering a role directly involving the region.
"I have no intention of being so fully engaged again. I think I've had that. But I'm very willing to use the momentum that I've been able to gather. I think the mistake is to think we've done it. We haven't by any means."
