Singapore's PM to visit India

SINGAPORE (Reuter): Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong
will head a business delegation on a four-day visit to India
beginning Jan. 3, the government said yesterday.

Goh has been invited to address a business group in Calcutta,
where he will meet Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and leaders
of Marxist-ruled West Bengal state, the Foreign Ministry said in
a statement.

Goh will be accompanied by Trade and Industry Minister Yeow
Cheow Tong and a 31-member business delegation.

This is Goh's second visit to India in a year. He was the
chief guest at the Republic Day parade in New Delhi in January.

Rao visited Singapore in September, during which 12 investment
deals worth S$800 million (US$547 million) were concluded.
