The statement said military engagements between India and Singapore span regular high-level interactions, including comprehensive defence cooperation.
"Navy-to-navy cooperation between the two countries covers almost the entire spectrum of naval operations," it said.
A bilateral exercise between the two navies started in 1994 and matured into an all-encompassing SIMBEX (Singapore India Maritime Bilateral Exercise).
SIMBEX 15 was held in the South China Sea on May 15 when ships and maritime patrol aircraft from both navies participated.
