Looks like Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's gonna need pimp up his attire — US President Barack Obama has personally invited the Singaporean statesman to a state dinner at the White House this August.
State dinners aren't trivial affairs too — it's considered to be the highest diplomatic honour the White House can give as a celebration of consular ties between the United States and the invitee.
According to the White House, the two leaders will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations between the two countries that has apparently "served as an anchor for the US rebalance to Asia".
