Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsein Loong will have a round of talks in the Beehive today.

But the media are being kept at arm's length.

They're being invited to photo opportunities but have been told there'll be no questions to Mr Lee.

Mr Key says that's Mr Lee's wish and is the nature of the Singapore system.
