Singapore is keen to expand its business ties with India, said Ajith Singh, Consulate General of the Republic of Singapore, Chennai. |
The airport project in Chennai, a joint venture of the Singapore Airport Consortium with the Tatas and the development project of a part of the airport in Thiruvananthapuram are the initiatives of Singapore in this direction, he said. |

Participating in an interactive meet at the Kanara Chamber of Commerce here, Singh said IT-related sectors, construction and infrastructure, and the tourism industry held much potential in terms of the 'exchange value' as far as India was concerned. |
|
India was Singapore's third major trading partner in recent years and the figure had touched $16 billion last year. |
|
The tourist figures too showed a quantum jump at 6,59,000, an increase of 12.9 per cent. There were nearly 2,600 Indian firms operating in Singapore, he said. |
