He was speaking during a media briefing by the MEA on the state visit of the President of Singapore Tharman Shanmugaratnam to India.
There is already some work going on for setting up a green hydrogen corridor between India and Singapore, said Mazumdar. He further added that the green energy corridor will have one link from Tuticorin and the other that is being identified is from Paradeep in Odisha.
Earlier the Singaporean President talked about a corridor between Gift City in Gujarat and Singapore for safe data transfer between the two sides.
“The data corridor is also an important area between Gujarat, Gift City and Singapore, which is also being discussed. No MOUs are expected to be signed during this visit on that, but this is also an important area which bilaterally we are discussing,” stated Mazumdar.
He further added the President of Singapore’s visit takes off from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit built on in September last year. “We upgraded our relations with Singapore to that of a comprehensive strategic partnership and the various areas of emphasis and the various areas of cooperation that were identified during that time are also going to find their reflection during this visit,” he said.
He further added, “At that time, if you recall, the India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable had identified some areas of emphasis whether it is in semiconductors, the digital economy, in health and skill development, semiconductor ecosystem development which were prioritised by those roundtables, both the first and the second and the results of this particular visit will see the actualisation of those.”
Detailing about the nature of cooperation in the semiconductor space, Mazumdar said, “When the Prime Minister visited Singapore in September 2024, he visited the AEM Semiconductor Complex, accompanied by Singapore's Prime Minister. This signals that Singapore's semiconductor industry views India as a potential partner. Similarly, we also aspire to develop our semiconductor ecosystem, which is quite complex, and Singapore is an appropriate partner for this. Singapore is also interested in collaborating with us on this.”
He further asserted that one important aspect of this partnership is skill development. “In this area, you will see some agreements being made, particularly in Odisha, focusing on skill development in the semiconductor sector,” shared Mazumdar.
