India and Singapore have charted a new course for their strategic partnership, unveiling a detailed roadmap aimed at strengthening bilateral ties. This comes as Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Lawrence Wong commit to navigating global trade disruptions together, focusing on key areas such as trade, advanced manufacturing, and digital technologies.
