Ramos visits KL to boost ties

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuter): Philippine President Fidel Ramos
arrived yesterday for a brief working visit to Malaysia, aimed at
strengthening bilateral and business ties.

Ramos delivers a keynote address today at a seminar and
exhibition in Kuala Lumpur on legendary Philippine freedom
fighter Jose Rizal.

He will then hold talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir
Mohamad before returning to Manila.

The Philippine Presidential Palace has described the visit,
Ramos' second in 21 months, as a "very freewheeling, flexible and
informal" one.
