India and Singapore have fortified their bilateral relationship by signing four significant Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) in the spheres of digital technologies, semiconductors, health cooperation, and skill development. These agreements were formalized during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Singapore, where he received a ceremonial welcome at the Parliament House on Thursday.

Other MoUs cover areas like semiconductor ecosystem collaboration, health and pharmaceutical innovation, and skills development. These collaborations are expected to bring significant investments and facilitate talent development and human resource exchange between the two nations.
