SINGAPORE: Singapore will have an Indian Heritage Centre soon along Serangoon Road.

This was revealed by Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Balaji Sadasivan, who is in India with Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong.

Touring the National Museum of India together with Mr Goh and the Singapore delegation, Dr Balaji said that Singapore already has a Malay Heritage Centre and a Chinese Heritage Centre.

An Indian Heritage Centre will reflect the country's diverse ethnic make-up and history.

Dr Balaji said that the recent Nalanda exhibition was possible with the help of the National Museum of India, as it loaned some of its Buddhist relics to Singapore.

And closer cooperation with the museums of India will once again prove useful as India can offer advice in the setting up of the Indian Heritage Centre. - CNA/vm
