India asks S’pore to step up legal cooperation in 2G, Tatra cases

'While discussing issues pertaining to legal cooperation, the home minister said that the pending letter rogatory in Singapore should be looked into on priority,' a home ministry official said. India has sent letters rogatory (LR) to Singapore in connection with CBI probe in Tatra all-terrain vehicle purchase scam and 2G telecom spectrum scam among others.

Appreciating the cooperation from Singapore in the field of security and police matters, economic and culture, the home minister suggested that Singapore may consider setting up a world class skill development centre in India.

Singh underlined that six fields – strategic partnership, scaling of trade and investment, speeding connectivity including air and maritime, skill development, smart cities including urban development with waste and water management, state's focus to forge cultural and economic ties – that need to be strengthened by both the countries. The home minister said that Singapore is a vital partner and a gateway to ASEAN countries and India appreciates the role played by Singapore in this regard. CBI director Ranjit Sinha proposed signing of an MoU between India and Singapore on this issue.
