Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono plans to make a speech on climate change at the 7th Asia-Europe (ASEM 7) summit in Beijing, the national news agency Antara Friday quoted a foreign ministry official as saying.
"Indonesia is considered able to play a positive, constructive and important role on environment issues. The Chinese government has specifically invited President Yudhoyono to speak about climate change," said Dian Wirengjurit, director of intra-regional cooperation for America and Europe.
He added that the President will also have private meetings with other ASEM member leaders at their request, take part in a working lunch with his counterparts, and may speak on global security and express his concern over the possibility of another Cold War breaking out.
Besides, the President was scheduled to deliver a speech at the Beijing University. China will host the ASEM 7 summit in Beijing from Oct. 24 to 25, with 43 ASEM members, the ASEAN secretary general and the president of the European Commission to be attending.
