Singh will hold delegation-level discussions with the leader of the West African nation and oversee signing of some
agreements, officials said in Delhi on Tuesday.
The talks will take place at the Prime Minister's residence and not the Hyderabad House, which is the usual venue
for such events. The Prime Minister has been attending to urgent official work from home but the talks with President of Benin will mark his first official engagement.
76-year-old Singh underwent a 'redo' coronary artery bypass surgery to remove five blockages in his heart at the
All India Institute of Medical Sciences on January 24 and has since been recuperating.
His condition has been showing significant improvement and post-operative tests have been positive.
