Modi has successfully completed the Singapore tour.
PM Narendra Modi announced the opening of India’s first Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centre in Singapore to strengthen cultural ties, as well as the establishment of an “Invest India” office in Singapore to boost investment.
Highlighting Singapore’s significance as a partner, Modi noted that Singapore’s investment in India has reached around $160 billion, and bilateral trade has more than doubled in the past decade.
He praised the strong ties between the two nations, underlining Singapore’s role in India’s “Act East” policy and cooperation across sectors, from defence to technology.
The visit included meetings with Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, senior minister Lee Hsien Loong, and former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. Singaporean PM Wong accepted an invitation from Modi to visit India, as both nations look ahead to celebrating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2025.
