Cambodian FM here for 3-day visit

JAKARTA (JP): Cambodian foreign minister Ung Huot, who was scheduled to arrive here this morning, hastened the start of his three-day visit here and touched down at Soekarno-Hatta international airport yesterday evening.

Officials at the foreign ministry said that yesterday's arrival was actually in accordance with the initial plan, which was then changed to today's date due to perceived flight route problems.

However, at the last minute Huot apparently was able to catch an earlier flight and reverted back to his original schedule.

This morning Huot will pay a courtesy call on President Soeharto, followed by a bilateral meeting around lunchtime with his counterpart Ali Alatas.

Later this afternoon Huot will meet with the Speaker of the House of Representative, Wahono. A meeting with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretary General Ajit Singh is also tentatively planned. (mds)
