THE close relationship between India and Singapore, supported by high level exchanges and common economic and commercial interests, is set to deepen further this year, the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was among the first to congratulate Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his election victory. Hailing Singapore as a valued friend, Mr Modi expressed confidence that bilateral ties would become stronger.
This being the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations between the two countries, plans are underway to make the celebrations truly memorable with cultural exchange programmes and reciprocal visits by the respective presidents.
Activities could include an India Festival in Singapore and a reciprocal Singapore Festival in India. The golden anniversary will be used as an appropriate juncture to reflect on the progress of the bilateral relationship and assess the various achievements so far.
