However Naidu’s trip was cancelled in the last minute as Union External Affairs Ministry refused permission for the tour. Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Lee Kuan Yew’s mortal remains on the same day, External Affairs Ministry refused permission for Naidu.

Naidu visited Singapore couple of months ago and also entered in to an MOU with the Singapore Government for preparing the Master Plan of Andhra Pradesh’s upcoming state capital. The Singapore team will submit the Master Plan by June.
