Singh was given Obama's invitation by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns during his recent visit to New Delhi.

The Prime Minister's visit to Washington could be clubbed with his tour to New York when he travels there to attend the United Nations General Assembly in September, official sources were quoted by the media, as saying.

This will be Singh's second bilateral visit to the United States during Obama's tenure.
