Singapore, India eye closer ties in chips, capital markets and food safety

Singapore and India are moving to formalise skills training for India’s growing semiconductor sector, as both countries deepen economic cooperation. The initiative could help Singapore firms enter or expand in India, while both sides are also exploring closer links in capital markets, including derivatives and possible dual listings. Three agreements covering food safety and agri-food trade, maritime heritage and telecommunications were also signed. Ivy Chok reports.
