India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently in Singapore from Sep. 4 to 5 for an official visit.

He was invited by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who hosted a meal for Modi at the Istana on Sep. 4.

He is also slated to begin official meetings with other Singapore leaders on Sep. 5.

Received "vibrant" welcome

Modi, who last visited Singapore in 2018, is on a two-country trip which includes Brunei.

This marks his fifth visit to Singapore, and his first official overseas trip since his party recorded a victory in the India general election, securing his third term in power.

Upon his visit, Modi was greeted by enthusiastic supporters, many of whom he directly engaged with.

His visit was also commemorated with a slew of cultural performances, and he was also seen partaking in a drum performance.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), he thanked Singapore for the "vibrant welcome".
