HANOI (Reuter): Thai Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa, on his first overseas trip as premier, held talks in Hanoi yesterday with his Vietnamese counterpart, Vo Van Kiet.

He arrived three hours late from the Philippines for a scheduled six-hour visit, and was due to attend a ground-breaking ceremony for a joint-venture hotel and make courtesy calls on Communist Party General Secretary Do Muoi and state President Le Duc Anh before heading for Bangkok.

At a welcoming ceremony, Kiet said Banharn's visit was a good chance to discuss issues facing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, of which both are members.
