Prime Minister Tony Abbott will be promoting the potential of Australia's 'great north' in Singapore.

Mr Abbott will meet Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong over an Aussie-style barbecue on Sunday, part of a series of events to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Singapore's independence.

It's one of several events where the prime minister will be talking business.

WA Premier Colin Barnett, Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will join Mr Abbott for a roundtable with investors on the opportunities of northern Australia.

The event follows the release of the government's Northern Australia White Paper.

On Monday, Mr Abbott will visit the Singapore Botanical Gardens, where an orchid will be named in honour of the relationship between both countries, rather than him personally, local media reported.

Past prime ministers Julia Gillard and Paul Keating are among the foreign VIPs to have had orchids named after them on official visits to the Lion City.
