Dear Prime Minister Modi,


    My warmest congratulations to Your Excellency and the Government of India on the 69th Republic Day.

    This year’s celebrations are particularly meaningful as ASEAN Leaders will have the honour of participating as chief guests at the Republic Day Parade. There is much to celebrate as we mark the 25th anniversary of ASEAN-India Relations. The ASEAN-India Commemorative Summit is a good opportunity to take stock of our achievements and reaffirm our shared commitment towards deepening ties between India and ASEAN. 

    Singapore-India relations remain strong and multifaceted. Our economic ties are robust and we are working together in various areas including skills development and Smart Cities.  I am confident that the bilateral relationship will further strengthen in the coming years.

    I look forward to joining my fellow ASEAN Leaders in New Delhi for the Summit as well as the Republic Day Parade, and to welcoming Your Excellency to Singapore later this year.


Yours sincerely,


LEE HSIEN LOONG


His Excellency Narendra Modi

Prime Minister

Republic of India
