President Tony Tan Keng Yam visited India earlier this year. “Ceremonial honours at Istana. A warm welcome for PM @narendramodi at the presidential palace,” Swarup tweeted earlier along with pictures of Modi with his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong. Modi started a busy second day of his Singapore visit with a breakfast meeting with leading Singaporeans.
“A breakfast pitch to begin the day. PM @narendramodi has an early morning meeting with leading Singaporeans,” Swarup tweeted.
