United States President Barack Obama has invited Prime Minister John Key to Washington for an official visit early next year.

Key met with Obama in Singapore over the weekend.

They previously met while Key was in New York in September.

Next year's official visit may be timed to coincide with an April conference on nuclear proliferation and security which Key has also been invited to, The New Zealand Herald reported.

Key confirmed he has received the invitation and plans to take it up.
