By P. S. Suryanarayana

SINGAPORE, MARCH 29. India and Singapore today agreed to fashion new bilateral links in the information technology sector. While no specific agenda was spelt out, the Singapore Prime Minister, Mr. Goh Chok Tong, and the visiting Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Information Technology, Mr. Pramod Mahajan, identified IT-education as a possible sphere of intense bilateral cooperation.

Mr. Mahajan, now in the City-State to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Singapore Government tomorrow on establishing a joint task force in the IT sector, called on the Prime Minister shortly before the visiting Pakistani Chief Executive, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, met Mr. Goh. Later, Mr. Mahajan said there had been neither a chance encounter nor a meeting between him and any member of the Pakistani delegation.
