Less than a week after he returned from his whirlwind tour of UK and Turkey, PM Narendra Modii is off to his next two destinations.
India’s ministry of external affairs on Wednesday spoke to reporters about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s next foreign visit to Malaysia and Singapore starting 21 November.
Modi will address ASEAN meet on upon his arrival before addressing another diaspora event on the following day.
Foreign ministry spokesperson, Vikas Swarup, said that Modi will address Wembley-like mega events both in Malaysia and Singapore.
The foreign ministry’s secretary (East) said, ” (This is because) Prime Minister likes to address diaspora community during his foreign trips.”
There are close to two million people of Indian origin living in Malaysia. Modi will leave for Singapore on 23 November, when he will deliver a lecture in front of a crowd consisting of policy makers of the country. He will return to India on the following day.
