Promoting A.P. as investment destination remains mainstay of Naidu's Singapore tour
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Ministers Nara Lokesh (IT & HRD), P. Narayana (Municipal Administration) and T.G. Bharat (Industries & Commerce) wrapped up their four-day visit to Singapore with a series of high-level meetings on Wednesday. In all, the delegation from Andhra Pradesh held 26 meetings with a host of dignitaries, including Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, former PM and current Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Ministers Tan See Leng and K. Shanmugam. During the deliberations, which were aimed at attracting investments and enhancing Andhra Pradesh's brand image, Mr. Naidu sought cooperation from the Singapore Government for the development of the State, with due emphasis on helping the A.P. government in transforming Amaravati into a vibrant capital city. Mr. Naidu and his team studied prestigious projects in Singapore with the intent of implementing similar models in Andhra Pradesh. Tan See Leng, Singapore Minister-in-Charge of Energy and Science & Technology in the Ministry of Trade and Industry, posted a message on the social media platform X saying that his government would continue to support the development of A.P. and Amaravati through technical cooperation in urban development by working together with the partners like World Bank. Mr. Naidu succeeded in restoring the relations between A.P. and Singapore that came under strain between 2019 and 2024, and managed to regain the trust of the Singapore government. The Chief Minister expressed commitment to rectifying the 'past mistakes', said an official release. He invited the Singapore government representatives to attend the Global Investors' Summit, scheduled to be held in Visakhapatnam on November 14 and 15. Indian High Commissioner to Singapore, Shilpak Ambule, extended support to the A.P. delegation during the tour. Mr. Naidu held discussions with the representatives of major companies such as Surbana Jurong, Sembcorp, SIA Engineering, AI Singapore, Keppel Corporation, GIC, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, CapitaLand Investment, EverSendai Engineering, TomSec, Wilmar, TVS Motors, Mandai Wildlife, and Adani Ports. He explained the investment opportunities in A.P. and the slew of policies being implemented by the State government. Mr. Naidu urged the companies to consider Andhra Pradesh as their preferred investment destination in India, while assuring them of incentives. He participated in roundtable discussions on urban development, IT, Artificial Intelligence, fintech, maritime, and port infrastructure. The delegation also visited the Bidadari Estate (housing project), Jurong Petrochemical Island, Tuas Port, and the Singapore Sports School, where they inquired into the best and modern practices followed in those projects. A major highlight of the trip was the Telugu Diaspora Meet held in Singapore, in which Telugu people from across Southeast Asia took part.

Singapore expresses readiness to collaborate with Andhra in key sectors
VIJAYAWADA: Following his meeting with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Singapore Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng has expressed their readiness to collaborate with the Andhra Pradesh government across multiple sectors. He affirmed that Singapore is fully prepared to be a partner in the development of Andhra Pradesh, and its Capital City Amaravati. In his post on Facebook, he reiterated Singapore's commitment to working with AP on ongoing and future projects. Describing AP as one of India's fastest-growing States, Tan See Leng noted that his discussions with Naidu had touched on key areas, including ports, green energy, digital technology and skill development. Reflecting on past cooperation, he recalled that during the previous regime of Naidu, Singapore had played an active role in the early stages of Amaravati development, contributing to the master plan, and offering construction support. He mentioned that Singapore firms had won tenders under the Swiss Challenge method to develop a startup area within the capital. However, following the change in government in 2019, the partnership was discontinued, and Singapore consortium eventually withdrew from the project. Now, with renewed dialogue underway, Tan See Leng said discussions on development collaboration have resumed.
