SINGAPORE: Singapore and India have agreed to elevate bilateral relations to a higher level of a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” to deepen and broaden cooperation between the two countries.
The move came as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrapped up a
two-day official visit to Singapore. He was due to depart the country on Thursday (Sep 5) evening, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in a statement.
In a Facebook post, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said he had a “productive meeting” with his Indian counterpart on Thursday, as they set out a “forward-looking agenda” for the next stage of bilateral relations.
“We are also upgrading the Singapore-India Strategic Partnership to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership,” he said.
“This is a timely move as we expand our partnership in new and mutually beneficial areas, and celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of our Strategic Partnership next year.
“We look forward to strengthening our ties and creating new opportunities for our peoples.”
Mr Modi and Mr Wong reaffirmed the significance of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) signed in 2005, and reviewed in 2007 and 2018, for the economic partnership between the two countries.
"
They desired an early conclusion of the third review of CECA, which will ensure the agreement remains fit for the future economies of India and Singapore," the joint statement said.
