As he completes three years in office, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has another reason to rejoice.
He has been invited by the Singapore government to the World Cities Summit - 2020 (WCS) to be held from 5 to 9 July this year.
The WCS is an exclusive platform held biennially in Singapore and brings together government leaders and industry experts from around the world to address pressing challenges, share practical solutions and forge valuable partnerships between cities.
According to the government spokesman, the Singapore government stated that the theme of WCS - 2020 is ''Livable and Sustainable Cities: Adapting to a Disrupted World'' in which there will be discussions about how cities can cope with climate change, social shifts and technological disruptions with confidence.
The WCS is being organised alongside the Singapore International Water Week and the CleanEnviro Summit as part of the Singapore Sustainability Week.
The previous event in 2018 was attended by 44 ministers, 133 mayors and city leaders from all over the world.
In addition, 1100 companies and over 24,000 participants from all over the world participated in the event and business deals worth $26 billion were announced.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
