\nmeeting starting Jan. 20 would be attended by police chiefs and
\nrepresentatives from the 10 members of the Association of
\nSoutheast Asian Nations (ASEAN).<\/p>\n
\"Because the terrorism issue is currently under the world
\nspotlight, it will become one of the main focuses of the

He said speakers from the region as well as from Australia,
\nthe United States and from Germany had confirmed their
