TOKYO (AFP): Singapore's Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong will visit Japan next week, the Japanese foreign ministry said yesterday.

During his five-day visit starting Aug. 27, Goh will meet Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto and business leaders.

Goh and Hashimoto will "discuss many issues ranging from relations between Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to Cambodian situations," a ministry official said.

The visit, Goh's third to Japan since becoming prime minister in September 1991, will come before a Japan-ASEAN summit in Malaysia in December.
