Modi Embarks on Two-Day Visit to Singapore

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to Singapore, his first since 2018, where he will meet with Singaporean leaders including Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and President Tharman Shanmugaratnam. Modi aims to enhance the India-Singapore Strategic Partnership, focusing on advanced manufacturing, digitalization, and sustainable development. This visit follows significant trade relations, with Singapore being India's sixth-largest trading partner and the largest source of foreign direct investment. Modi will also engage in discussions with local business leaders, particularly in the semiconductor sector, which is a key area of collaboration. His visit comes after a historic trip to Brunei, marking a new chapter in India’s engagement with Southeast Asia, celebrating 40 years of diplomatic ties with Brunei.
