VIETNAM: President Tran Duc Luong is to make a three-nation Southeast Asian tour later this month covering Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines, the foreign ministry said in Hanoi on Tuesday.

Luong will start his tour in the region's biggest nation of Indonesia on Saturday, before heading to Brunei next Monday and the Philippines on Nov. 14.

The president is also due to travel to neighboring Cambodia Nov. 26-28 for a long-awaited state visit which was canceled late last year after anti-communist militants attacked government buildings in Phnom Penh.

Luong is expected to sign a protocol aimed at resolving lingering border and immigration issues which still divide the two neighbors. --AFP
