NEW DELHI:

Bilateral ties are on a "new trajectory", following the upgrading of relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership last year and the two sides are cooperating in key areas such as advanced manufacturing and semiconductors, with Singapore helping build up India's semiconductor eco-system, Tharman told the media during a ceremonial reception at Rashtrapati Bhawan. Besides looking at opportunities in logistics, connectivity, petro-chemicals, skilling, and MRO for aerospace, the two sides are working on net zero industrial parks and exploring new initiatives in the digital space and sustainability, he said.
