YUDHOYONO TO HAVE TETE-A-TETES WITH UN CHIEF, OTHER LEADERS AT HOKKAIDO
Tokyo, July 7 (ANTARA) - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and a number of state/international organization leaders plan to have private meetings with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on the sidelines of the G-8 Summit in Japan this week.
A spokesman of the Indonesian Embassy in Tokyo, Ronny Yuliantoro, said on Monday besides the UN chief, World Bank President Robert Zoellick, Mexican President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also planned to meet the Indonesian president.
"South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also want to have a tete-a-tete with President Yudhoyono," Ronny Yuliantoro said, adding that the private meetings were being arranged in adjustment with Yudhoyono's tight agenda during the G-8 Summit.
President Yudhoyono is expected to arrive in Japan on Tuesday after attending a D-8 group of developing nations summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
With the soaring oil and food prices and climate change set to dominate the summit of the leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized nations which was opened on Japan's scenic island of Hokkaido on Monday, President Yudhoyono is expected to use the opportunity to push forward the Bali road map on the climate change issue.
The three-day summit from July 7-9 of the leaders of the G8 -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy,Russia and the United States this year, will be joined by the leaders of 15 other countries including Indonesia, China, India, Brazil, South Korea, Australia, and Mexico.
