Speaking at the second Singapore-India Business Dialogue organised by SMU on May 21, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Home Affairs and Second Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr S. Iswaran said that there is significant scope to further enhance Singapore-India economic ties as there are opportunities in India's industrial, infrastructure and skills development priorities, and the potential for greater regional economic integration. A platform to discuss how India and Singapore can engage each other more closely, this year's dialogue themed "The Changing Financial Landscapes in Singapore and India", attracted over 300 SMU students, business leaders, finance professionals and academic experts. SMU Provost and Deputy President (Academic Affairs) Professor Rajendra Srivastava said in his welcome address that the university under its India Initiatives was "working towards creating knowledge networks in partnership with leading educational institutions, and by working closely with business organisations and international conglomerates which offer us useful perspectives on how to operate successfully in both markets."
