Our leaders extend the warmest congratulations to India....
Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong have written to India's leaders, congratulating them on the country’s 75th Republic Day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said on Friday (Jan 26).
Republic Day marks the adoption of India's constitution and the country's transition to a republic.
In his congratulatory letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Lee said that "Singapore and India enjoy a deep and longstanding friendship".
This friendship, he added, was underpinned by "wide-ranging cooperation in trade, finance, defence, and close people-to-people ties".
Mr Lee also said he was glad to have met Mr Modi at the G20 Summit in New Delhi last September.
"Under your leadership, India skilfully navigated a multitude of contentious issues to successfully conclude the G20 New Delhi Summit with a consensus Leaders Declaration," he added.
Through the India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable, both countries are exploring collaboration in new areas like food security, sustainability, upskilling and digitalisation.
