TOKYO (AFP): Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama will attend the November leaders' summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Indonesia, a foreign ministry official said yesterday.

A detailed schedule for the visit has not yet been set, the official said.

But the Kyodo News Service, quoting government sources, reported yesterday that Murayama is scheduled to leave Japan on Nov. 12, attend the meeting on November 15 and return home on Nov. 16.

Murayama plans to meet separately with U.S. President Bill Clinton and other leaders of APEC member countries, Kyodo said.

It was almost certain Murayama and Chinese President Jiang Zemin will meet for the first time since the Japanese prime minister took office in late June, it said.
