Singapore is an indispensable partner when it comes to these fields and active collaborations are ongoing, Ambule stressed.
“India and Singapore are strategic partners, and share warm and friendly historical ties. We have had an intense year of political exchanges in our economic, financial and trade ties which continue to grow from strength to strength,” Ambule said as he hosted the reception attended by Singapore government officials and invited diplomats, guests and the Indian community here.
“Singapore remains our largest source of FDI and our biggest trading partner in the ASEAN region. Our defence and security cooperation is the most understated area of exchange and the interaction and port visits have only increased,” he observed.
The envoy also shared the space sector collaboration between Singapore and India, having put in orbit a Singapore-made satellite last year on an Indian space vessel.
He then appreciated and thanked the Singapore Government officials for consistently working on strengthening the India Singapore strategic partnership.
