Modi, who arrived to attend the state funeral services of Lee who died at the age of 91, met Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
"Apart from conveying condolences, they discussed the prospects that in tune with the vision of late Lee India and Singapore can work together further," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Syen Akbaruddin told reporters.
"Modi said two of his own projects, namely the public housing and Swatch Bharat projects, were inspired by Lee Kuan Yew's own efforts in Singapore," Akbaruddin said, adding that PM wished that India and Singapore can cooperate on these projects.
