Spoke with PM Narendra Modi on the phone this evening. We discussed the COVID-19 situations in our two countries. Singapore is in the midst of the circuit breaker. India implemented a nationwide lockdown since late March, not a simple decision in a huge country of 1.3 billion people.
I thanked PM Modi for India’s help when we brought home some Singaporeans from India recently. I assured him that we will care for Indian migrant workers here, just as we care for Singaporeans. The migrant workers made personal sacrifices to come to work here. They have made many contributions to Singapore, so we have a responsibility for them.
Appreciate PM Modi’s affirmation of our efforts in looking after the migrant workers, and his assurance that they will not forget this.
India and Singapore are strategic partners with extensive economic ties. We agreed to work together on the challenges posed by the pandemic, keep supply chains intact, and keep essential supplies flowing. – LHL
