JAKARTA (JP): Visiting South Korean Minister of Foreign
Affairs Hong Soon-young who arrived here Tuesday evening is
expected to meet President Abdurrahman Wahid and Vice President
Megawati Soekarnoputri as a part of his three-day visit to
Jakarta.

Before meeting with the two leaders, the minister will hold
bilateral talks with his counterpart Alwi Shihab on fostering
practical cooperation between the two countries, including
politics, economy and culture.

"They will also exchange views to further enhance
collaboration in the international arena," the South Korean
Embassy said in a statement on Tuesday.

Hong will also convey an official invitation for Abdurrahman
to visit Seoul, as was agreed upon between the Indonesian
President and Korean President Kim Dae-jung when they attended
the ASEAN informal summit on Nov. 28. (prb)
