The India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable (ISMR) was established to deepen existing cooperation and identify opportunities for mutually beneficial collaboration in new and emerging areas. These areas include digital connectivity, Fintech, green economy, green hydrogen, skill development and food productivity. For the inaugural meeting in Delhi, the then Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had visited India, and also travelled to Gujarat. Wong took over as the 4th Prime Minister of Singapore earlier this year.
India and Singapore have several areas of cooperation, even as both sides share broad convergence on a range of international issues. India had invited Singapore as a guest country during its presidency of the G20 grouping last year. Singapore is India’s largest trade partner in ASEAN and the leading source of FDI. Ethnic Indians constitute about 9.1 per centor around 3.5 lakhof the resident population of 3.9 million in Singapore.
