Indochinese heads meet in secret

VIENTIANE, Laos (AP): Amid a heavy police presence in the Laotian capital, the leaders of the three Indochinese countries -- Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam -- held a rare summit meeting on Wednesday under tight security.

Laotian Prime Minister Sisavat Keobounphanh, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Van Khai met at the Laotian Communist Party's central headquarters.

The arrivals of the Cambodian and Vietnamese leaders were not made public in the official media and no official agenda has been released.

But Cambodian officials in Phnom Penh, speaking before their departure on Tuesday, said the prime ministers would discuss joint economic cooperation, cross-border drug trafficking and border disputes.
