THE year 2018 is a significant one for the Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean) and India. It marks their 25 years of dialogue partnership, 15 years of summit-level interaction and five years of strategic partnership.
Singapore - the Asean chair for 2018 - is hosting two major events in January, ahead of a commemorative summit that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will host later in the month which will be attended by all 10 Asean leaders. These two high-profile events, both organised by the High Commission of India here, are a first for Singapore.
