President to visit Malaysia, Singapore next week

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to make an official visit in neighboring countries Malaysia and Singapore starting May 16.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Teuku Faizasyah told a press conference on Friday that the President will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa during the visit.

Faizasyah said that Yudhoyono will meet the foreign countries' leaders, adding that the ministry is still preparing the detailed agenda of the visit.

The visit will be the second one that Yudhoyono will make to the neighboring countries during his second term. His first visit was back in November last year.
