In a significant step toward reinforcing India-Singapore relations, I had the privilege of meeting Singapore’s esteemed Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong today in Singapore. This meeting presented an excellent opportunity to convey the warm regards of our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and reaffirm India’s commitment to a deep and fruitful partnership with Singapore.



Advancing Technology and Industrial Collaboration

One of the key themes of our discussion was the ongoing advancements in technology and the ways our two countries can mutually benefit from industrial partnerships. With both India and Singapore investing heavily in cutting-edge technology, we explored avenues for collaborative projects that leverage each country's strengths. By enhancing industrial cooperation, we aim to create innovative solutions that can address global challenges while fostering economic growth.


Skilling for the Future

As the world embraces the rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 and the digital economy, skilling has emerged as a top priority for both nations. Our conversation emphasized the need for robust training programs that prepare our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. India and Singapore share a vision of an empowered workforce with future-ready skills, enabling our citizens to thrive in a competitive global landscape. Through shared initiatives and knowledge exchange, we aspire to create sustainable skilling frameworks that can be implemented across the region.


Engaging in Regional Forums

Beyond bilateral engagement, we also discussed the importance of working together within regional forums to promote stability and growth in Southeast Asia. Singapore and India are active participants in key regional organizations, and we are committed to collaborating on issues such as economic cooperation, climate action, and peace-building efforts. These discussions are instrumental in shaping a prosperous future for the broader Asia-Pacific region.


A Commitment to Continued Cooperation

Today’s meeting was not only a reflection of our longstanding friendship with Singapore but also a commitment to deepening this relationship in the future. As we build on this momentum, I am optimistic about the innovative partnerships and initiatives that lie ahead.


India and Singapore share a dynamic, forward-looking vision for the region, and together, we can make remarkable progress. I look forward to seeing these initiatives unfold, benefitting both our nations and our people.
