Wong, on his first visit to India after becoming prime minister, pledged to build on Singapore’s position as the largest source of FDI inflows for seven years by expanding cooperation in manufacturing, sustainable industrial parks, and supply chains and logistics. The two PMs virtually inaugurated the second phase of the Bharat Mumbai Container Terminal at Nhava Sheva Port, operated by Singapore’s PSA International.

“Today, in the Southeast Asian region, Singapore stands as our largest trading partner. Singapore has made substantial investments in India,” Modi said at a joint media interaction with Wong. “Singapore is a vital pillar of our Act East policy. Together, we will continue to advance cooperation with Asean and carry forward our joint vision for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”
