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

"As much for his performance as a growth-focused provincial administrator as for the promise of what is to come for India under his leadership, The Straits Times declares Prime Minister Narendra Modi Asian of the Year for 2014," the newspaper said in a report.

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

Winning the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year, Modi took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26.
