SINGAPORE : Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mrs Lee hosted a Gala Dinner for ASEAN delegates on Tuesday evening.
Among the guests at Raffles City Convention Centre was United Nations Special envoy Dr Ibrahim Gambari, who exchanged greetings with Myanmar's Prime Minister Thein Sein and Foreign Minister U Nyan Win.
Dr Gambari met several ASEAN leaders earlier on Tuesday, on the sidelines of the Asean Summit.
Prime Minister Lee and Mrs Lee's guest list included heads of states, ministers and their spouses.
The theme for the Gala Dinner was "Rice: The Spirit of ASEAN".
This was reflected in the three main elements of the evening - the ASEAN Shirt and Blouse, the Gala Dinner Show and the Menu.
The designs for the shirt or blouse with skirt for dinner were conceived by Singaporean fashion designer Wykidd Song in collaboration with Mr Percy Vatsaloo, who designed the fabric.
The fabric of the ASEAN Shirt and Blouse was woven by master weavers in a village in the Korat Plateau of North-Eastern Thailand.
The entertainment for the Gala Dinner was put together by Dick Lee, the artistic director for the Gala Dinner.
Dick integrated Western with Asian music, performed by the Singapore Pop Orchestra.
The show also featured performances by Taufik Batisah, Vocaluptuous and the People's Association Talents. - CNA/ms
