Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious plan to build 100 smart cities would get a fillip during External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's visit to Singapore Aug 15-17 as the island nation has offered to help India with it.
Sushma Swaraj is travelling to Singapore as part of the 50th year anniversary of India-Singapore diplomatic relations.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said at a press briefing Wednesday that the minister would meet Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and also interact with eminent leaders and think-tanks of the country. She would also interact with the sizeable Indian community there.
Sushma Swaraj will also seek Singapore's cooperation in Modi's 'Smart-Cities' project and also their help in the rejuvenation of Indian cities, besides holding bilateral talks.
