KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): United Nations Secretary-General Kofi
Annan will arrive here tomorrow for a four-day visit, coinciding
with an East Asian summit, reports said yesterday.

Annan, accompanied by his wife and UN officials, is scheduled
to meet Malaysian King Tuanku Jaa'far and Prime Minister Mahathir
Mohamad, the New Straits Times reported.

He will also attend briefings by the economic planning unit,
the multimedia development corporation and deliver a dinner talk
