E. Timor joins int'l aid for tsunami

JAKARTA: East Timor President Xanana Gusmao slated to visit
Indonesia later this month to hand over a donation from his
people for victims of the Dec. 26 tsunami.

In a meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on
Friday, East Timor Minister of Foreign Affairs Ramos Horta said
that although his country is the poorest in the world, the people
would like to share the grieve of the Indonesian people.

"Our people are gathering donations, some are just one cent,
some are more, and it was led by President Gusmao," the East
Timor minister said after the meeting.

Horta was in Jakarta to attend the one-day summit on the
aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami on Thursday.--JP
