President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Friday in Copenhagen he skipped a dinner hosted by Danish Queen Margrethe II on Thursday evening, because he had an allergy.
“It was not because I was monitoring the increasing political [tension] in Jakarta,” he told a press conference aired by TVOne, alluding to public protests over the government’s recent handling of corruption investigations. “Doctors said the allergy may have been triggered by extreme weather or food.”
Yudhoyono said he had recovered early Friday morning. He was in Copenhagen to attend the UN Climate Change Conference.
