Prime Minister Narendra Modi strengthens strategic partnership with Singapore, focusing on advanced manufacturing, digitalization, and sustainable development.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (September 4, 2024) arrived in Singapore to “deepen strategic partnership” with the Southeast Asian country at the invitation of his Singaporean counterpart Lawrence Wong after wrapping his visit to Brunei.
During the two-day visit, his fifth official trip to Singapore, the Prime Minister will connect with three generations of Singapore’s leadership, officials in New Delhi said.
The Prime Minister will receive an official welcome at the Parliament House on Thursday and call on President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
This visit comes days after Mr. Wong took over and Mr. Modi began his third term as Prime Minister.
Ahead of his departure, Mr. Modi had posted on X: “I look forward to my discussions to deepen our Strategic Partnership with Singapore, particularly in new and emerging areas of advanced manufacturing, digitalisation, and sustainable development.”
Mr. Modi, who last visited Singapore in 2018, is accompanied by Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and other government officials.
“The leaders will review the progress of India-Singapore Strategic Partnership and exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest,” a Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) statement said ahead of his departure for Brunei and Singapore.
