Our fight against terrorism continues to resonate strongly across the world. Our engagements in Singapore commenced with a comprehensive briefing by the Indian High Commissioner, offering valuable context for the discussions ahead.
We were honoured to call on H.E. Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs, and express India’s ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY against terrorism. We deeply appreciate the presence and support of Senior Minister of State Mr Janil Puthucheary and Members of Parliament Mr Vikram Nair and Mr Saktiandi Supaat during our discussions.
In meetings with Singaporean interlocutors from the government, academia, think tanks, media, and business, we underlined the new normal in India’s policy on counterterrorism: PRECISE, RESPONSIBLE, and UNFLINCHING. We also had an insightful meeting with Mr Edwin Tong, Singapore’s Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs. We deeply valued our interactions with the Indian community in Singapore - a reflection of the shared resilience, unity and unwavering solidarity of our diaspora in the face of terrorism.
Amidst a packed day, I took time to visit the INA Memorial at Esplanade Park, which is currently undergoing renovation. I offered my tributes from outside, but even from a distance, it was a moment of SOLEMN REFLECTION. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was a towering statesman, fearless patriot, and a defining figure in India’s quest for freedom; his legacy continues to live in our hearts, undiminished by time. I also offered prayers at the Ramakrishna Mission in Singapore, a beacon of spiritual enlightenment and service.
Terrorism respects no borders, and the fight against it must unite us all. India stands firm in its MORAL and STRATEGIC CLARITY: those who perpetrate, support, or justify terrorism will be HELD TO ACCOUNT.
