Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on October 23.
"The President and Prime Minister will discuss ways to further strengthen our economic, political, security and people-to-people ties, and work to advance United States engagement and mutual interests throughout the Indo-Pacific region," the White House press secretary said in a statement on Tuesday.
The visit brings the opportunity for the two leaders to reaffirm the relationship between the United States and Singapore, which has been one of America's closest partners in Asia for more than 50 years.
The two leaders last met on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Leaders' Summit in Germany in July.
The two also spoke over the phone in late August, when Lee called to express his sympathies over the loss of life in Hurricane Harvey, and offer Singapore's Chinook helicopters based in Texas to assist in disaster relief efforts.
Last month, the White House announced that Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will travel to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Hawaii from November 3 to 14.
