Madam President,

We warmly welcome the presentation by the delegation of Singapore.

3. In the spirit of constructive cooperation, India recommends the following to Singapore:

i. Continue with measures in furtherance of gender equality, particularly in employment;

ii. Consider efforts to ensure free, equal and non-discriminatory access to quality education for all; and,

iii. Continue with measures to protect the rights of migrant workers, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. We wish the delegation of Singapore all the success in its review.

Thank you, Madam President.
