HIGHLIGHTING India’s emergence as a key player in the global economy, Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam said that India aspires to be a significant player in a multipolar world and this is also reflected in the evolving ties of the two nations.
While addressing the media during his visit to Odisha on Saturday, Tharman emphasized that India is poised to move up the ladder of skills and value, and has significant potential as an export economy, driven by demographics, ongoing development, and growing potential as an export economy.
“Singapore and India are now on a new plane of cooperation. It reflects India’s aspirations. It also reflects the fact that we are now in a world where we have to work harder at collaboration with each other…India aspires to be a pole in its own right in a multipolar world. That’s true geopolitically, but it’s also true economically,” President Tharman told reporters on Saturday.
India is emerging as a major economic pole due to demographics, development, skills, and export potential, President Tharman said.
President Tharman is on a four-day state visit to India from 14-18 January. He arrived in Odisha along with his wife on Friday.
