New Delhi: President of Singapore, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, received a ceremonial welcome Thursday at the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. This is his first trip to India. During the course of his four-day visit, he will also travel to Bhubaneshwar.
In his address to the media, Shanmugaratnam said that the two countries are now on a new trajectory after upgrading their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership, which was announced during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Singapore in September last year.
