New Delhi, Dec 5 (IBNS) Singapore-based newspaper The Strait Times has named Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as its "Asian of the Year" .

MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin congratulated Modi and tweeted: "Congratulations Mr Prime Minister. @STcom chooses PM @narendramodi as Asian of the Year - 2014. "
