Mega holds Cabinet meeting

INDONESIA: President Megawati Soekarnoputri called an impromptu
Cabinet meeting on Saturday to prepare for the upcoming People's
Consultative Assembly (MPR) Annual Session next month, discussing
with ministers her progress report after one year in power.

Coordinating Minister for Security Affairs Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono said the Cabinet was preparing the "government's
progress report" for Megawati.

"This is normal work for the Cabinet, but we'll make sure that
we address everything during the annual session," he said after
attending the meeting.

The report covers issues on politics, economy, social and
security as well as government programs, according to Susilo.

President Megawati normally holds her Cabinet meeting every
Thursday, but several ministers said she had called the meeting
for Saturday as everyone was busy throughout the week. -- Antara
