PM Modi Embarks on Historic Visit to Brunei and Singapore

Asian Mail

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed for Brunei on Tuesday, marking the first-ever visit by an Indian head of state to the island nation. This historic visit comes despite 40 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Following his visit to Brunei, PM Modi will head to Singapore for a two-day visit from September 4 to September 5, where he will hold talks with Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

In a X post, PM Modi said, “Over the next two days, I will be visiting Brunei Darussalam and Singapore. During various engagements in these nations, the focus will be on further deepening India’s ties with them.”

The visit to Brunei aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation across various sectors, including defense, trade, energy, and space technology, following an invitation from His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah.

In Singapore, PM Modi’s agenda includes discussions on futuristic areas of cooperation, such as digitization, sustainability, health, and advanced manufacturing. Several MoUs are expected to be exchanged, particularly in areas like food security, renewables, green hydrogen, and semiconductors.

PM Modi’s visit aligns with India’s ‘Act East’ Policy, aimed at forging and strengthening relations with Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific region.
