AFTER an exchange of pleasantries and an invitation to make Singapore as a hub for furthering business into south east Asia, China and even to Japan, minister from Singapore government, Goh Chok Tong invited PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry to mount a high powered delegation to Singapore to scout for joint venture partners. The chamber announced that such a delegation at an appropriate time with industrialists keen to do business with their counterparts in Singapore will be organised. The date for such a mission will be agreed upon mutually. The Singapore minister chose Punjab and Haryana to visit so as to take stock of the situation realising that these two states with the highest per capita income, a large industrial base and a pool of talented professionals could be a match for promoting JVs either in India or in Singapore.
