S'pore Prime Minister LEE has openly invited Obama to the Apec Leaders Meeting in 2009. Will he come to Asia?

Nov 06, 2008 by Artoro Arosli | Posted in Washington, D.C.

If not wrong, it will be the first invitation to Asia to meet all the Apec Leaders in one meet and exchange the experiences of both countries and the future planning for the World.

The Apec was inaugurated by President Clinton in 1993 so


Theres no reason or evidence to suggest that he wont take up the invitation......providing of course that it does not clash with equally important things in his diary that he will also be expected to attend.
