Singapore and India are high priorities for each other, said outgoing High Commissioner of India to Singapore, Jawed Ashraf in an exclusive interview to Connected to India

"[Singapore] is [India's] major economic partner, and certainly one of the most important defence partners. We do a lot of things together in international forums as well," he shared. 

But what makes Singapore interesting, is that the island is home to "one of the best and most accomplished Indian diaspora in the world."
