The marker, which sits beside the Singapore River, was unveiled by Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Chinese Vice-President Xi Jinping, who is here on a three-day official visit.
The marker sets in stone the accomplishments of this visionary - detailing Deng's early life, political activities, his visit to Singapore in 1978, and his role in Singapore-China relations.
Deng was the first senior Chinese leader to visit Singapore. His visit in 1978 spurred subsequent interactions in various fields between the two countries.
