Letter from Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi

23 May 2019

Dear Prime Minister Modi,

        My warmest congratulations on your well-deserved election victory! 

        This was a hard fought re-election campaign where your charismatic and decisive leadership made a clear difference.  The BJP has once again received a resounding mandate from the people of India. It reflects their trust and confidence in you and your team to lead India to even greater heights.

        Singapore-India relations remain excellent. Given the uncertain and challenging geo-political environment and international economy, we look forward to advancing the cooperation between our two countries, especially in new areas such as Fintech and innovation.

        I wish you the very best for your second term. May you enjoy continued good health.


Yours sincerely,

GOH CHOK TONG

His Excellency Narendra Modi

Prime Minister

Republic of India
