He added that tree planting is seen as a symbol of growing relationships.

''We hope that the trees we planted today will in some ways represent Singapore’s growth in the coming years as well as India’s growth. Also, these trees will represent the growths in our partnerships in the coming years,” Mayor Aliman said.
