BONN (AFP): German Economics Minister Guenter Rexrodt was to
leave yesterday with a high-powered business delegation for a 10-
day tour of Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.

In Vietnam, where they are to begin talks Friday, the Germans
are hoping to land contracts to help rebuild the country and get
a foothold in a rapidly expanding market.

The delegation is to visit Malaysia Sunday and spend Tuesday
through Saturday in Indonesia.

Of the three countries, Germany does the most business with
Malaysia.

The German government in 1993 adopted a plan calling for a
trade and diplomatic offensive in Asia, mainly to help German
industrial firms on the Asian market.
