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.
