Singapore’s relations with India are excellent and broad-based, spanning political, defence, educational, cultural, trade and investment. Our political leaders and officials share warm and friendly relations, with many high level visits between our countries. Prime Minister Lee recently hosted a State Visit by PM Manmohan Singh in November 2011, and has accepted PM Singh’s invitation to visit India in July 2012. Our ties grew considerably when India embarked on economic liberalisation and reform in the 1990s. The conclusion of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement in June 2005 was a milestone in Singapore-India relations. Other highlights include the establishment of the Joint Ministerial Committee, the India-Singapore Strategic Dialogue and the India-Singapore Parliamentary Friendship Group, and the hosting of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (Global Indian Conference)-Singapore, the first overseas meeting of Non-Resident Indians in the region.
India
The momentum of bilateral relations with India has been sustained through regular exchange of high-level visits and interactions between the officials at various levels. The frequent interaction allows both sides to exchange views on bilateral cooperation and issues of common concern. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made an Official Visit to Singapore in November 2011, and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has agreed to PM Singh’s invitation to visit India in July 2012. Commerce Minister Anand Sharma also visited in January 2011 to inaugurate the "India Show". Other notable visits to India include then-Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong's visits in March 2008 and March 2010, and then-Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's visits in October 2007, December 2007 and December 2009.
Relations with India have been further buttressed by the launching of key initiatives, including the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) and India-Singapore Strategic Dialogue (ISSD) during Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee’s official visit to Singapore in June 2007, and the India-Singapore Parliamentary Friendship Group in January 2012. The JMC is the first institutionalised ministerial level bilateral mechanism. Co-chaired by the Foreign Ministers, the first JMC was convened in New Delhi in April 2008. It is aimed at taking stock of bilateral initiatives and identifying new areas of cooperation. The inaugural ISSD was held in Singapore in early May 2008. Since then, three ISSDs have been held; the 4th ISSD took place in India in early April 2011. This Track 2 initiative aims at enabling both sides to gain a better understanding of each other’s views and positions on the global political, security and economic landscape. Singapore also hosted the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) or Global Indian Diaspora conference in October 2008 in cooperation with the Indian government and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). This annual conference is traditionally held in India every January and aims to link up overseas Indian communities and to bring their expertise and knowledge to India. The event was first held outside India in New York in 2007 followed by Singapore. During PM Singh’s State Visit to Singapore in November 2011, both countries agreed to form the India-Singapore Parliamentary Friendship Group. It was formally instituted in January 2012.
Singapore and India are mutually important economic partners. Bilateral economic ties have expanded since the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) in 2005. Union Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma and Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang launched the second review of the CECA in May 2010, agreeing on a bilateral economic roadmap to take the CECA forward in the coming years. Singapore is India's largest trading partner amongst the ASEAN countries and also India's gateway to ASEAN and East Asia. Bilateral trade continued to grow strongly reaching S$35.4 billion for 2011, a 16 percent increase from 2010. India is Singapore’s 10th largest trading partner in 2011. Singapore's investment in 2011 stands at US$2.1 billion, making Singapore India’s second largest investor. Singapore is also India’s 2nd largest cumulative investor, with cumulative investments of US$12.3 billion. Singapore investments in India are mostly in the areas of logistics, pharmaceuticals and infrastructure development. With 5,457 companies as of December 2011, India has overtaken Malaysia, US and Japan to form the largest foreign corporate contingent in Singapore.
