JAKARTA: Despite the change in national leadership, Indonesia
will continue preparations for the 50th anniversary of the Asia-
Africa Conference in Bandung next year.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hassan Wirayuda said on Thursday
preparations remained on schedule and were expected to be
finished sometime before the event.

Hassan reported on the ongoing preparations to President
Megawati Soekarnoputri on Thursday.

More than 100 heads of state are expected to attend the April
summit, which will serve as a remembrance of a meeting of Asian
and African leaders 50 years ago. The 1955 summit was the
brainchild of the Non-Aligned Movement.--JP
