Chandrababu to invite Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong to Amravati

With National Green Tribunal (NGT) recently giving its nod for the construction of Amaravati, almost all the hurdles are gone. So CM Chandrababu Naidu has decided to invite Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to lay foundation stones for the construction of the new state capital Amaravati in the last week of January 2018.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is expected to visit India as one of the guests during the Republic Day celebrations scheduled on January 26, 2018 as invited by government of India. As Singapore government and industries are taking part in building Amaravati, CM Naidu planned to invite him to Amaravati during that time.

Singapore PM Lee is expected to participate in the foundation laying ceremonies for Amaravati’s administrative zone buildings like Assembly, Secretariat, etc. Andhra Pradesh government is also planning to invite some ministers of the Central government for the occasion. Singaporean Minister Iswaran, who is coordinating projects in Andhra Pradesh welcomed this recent NGT verdict. He hoped that Singapore PM Loong’s visit would further boost Singapore’s association with Andhra Pradesh and India.
