British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is currently in Indonesia on a regional tour, will make a two-day official visit to Singapore beginning tomorrow, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

“Prime Minister Cameron’s visit reaffirms the strong bilateral ties between Singapore and the United Kingdom as the two countries commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year,” said the statement.

Cameron’s visit will begin with a speech at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy on Tuesday, with an official welcome ceremony held on Wednesday. He will be met by President Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Travelling with Cameron will be Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Amber Rudd and Minister of State for Trade Lord Francis Maude, Minister of State for Small Business Anna Soubry. They will also be accompanied by two business delegations.

During his trip, the British premier will also visit the Singapore Botanic Gardens, where an orchid will be named after him.
