On September 2, 2025, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong arrived in New Delhi for a three-day official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties and expanding cooperation across key sectors. This is his first visit to India since taking office and comes at a significant moment — marking 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

PM Wong was accompanied by a high-level delegation, including senior ministers like Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and officials from finance, trade, and transport ministries. Upon arrival, he was warmly received by Indian officials at the airport, setting a positive tone for the visit.

The visit is expected to lead to the signing of five major agreements covering areas such as shipping, civil aviation, space technology, digital innovation, and skill development. These pacts are part of ongoing efforts to deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and Singapore, originally upgraded during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Singapore in 2024.

During his stay, PM Wong will meet with top Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. He is also scheduled to pay tribute at Rajghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi.

Officials on both sides view this visit as a key opportunity to enhance collaboration in trade, technology, sustainability, and regional connectivity. Discussions are likely to focus on joint initiatives in green shipping, renewable energy, digital trade, and infrastructure development.

PM Wong’s visit underscores Singapore’s strong support for India’s Act East policy and signals a shared commitment to fostering stability and economic growth in the Indo-Pacific region.
