Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsein Loong today said his government would support Andhra Pradesh and share its expertise for the development of the state. Loong conveyed this to Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu who personally invited him for the foundation-stone laying ceremony of AP's capital city Amaravati on October 22, the Andhra Pradesh government said.
"Loong replied in the affirmative and said he will definitely try his best to make it to the ceremony," the state government said. Naidu is on a visit to Singapore to invite the Premier for the foundation laying ceremony and to hold talks on AP's capital city development.
The Chief Minister, who congratulated Loong on his re-election, told him that Singapore could extend help in building the state's infrastructure and in making Andhra Pradesh a knowledge economy. The State government quoted the Prime Minister as saying that Singapore would support Andhra Pradesh and share whatever expertise and experience it has.
Singapore government agencies have prepared the Master Plans for the three-layered AP capital -- seed capital, capital city and capital region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi would lay the foundation stone for the capital on the 'Vijaya Dasami' day (October 22), according to the state government.
During the meeting, Naidu thanked the Singapore Prime Minister for extending all the help in making the master plans and submitting them as planned. Explaining how Andhra Pradesh has set its eyes on long-term development and growth, the CM told Loong that the government is planning to make the state a 'logistics hub'. "We need your support," Naidu said.
