Prime Minister Narendra Modi is preparing for a historic visit to Brunei, the first-ever by an Indian head of state, despite 40 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Modi's visit aims to enhance cooperation in defence, trade, energy, and space technology. Following Brunei, he will head to Singapore from September 4-5 for talks with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. His agenda includes discussions on digitization, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing. This trip aligns with India’s 'Act East' Policy, aimed at boosting relations with Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific region.
