UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will visit China and attend an ASEAN summit on a four-nation Asian tour starting next week in which the Myanmar election and human rights could be key topics. UN spokesman Farhan Haq told a press briefing that Mr. Ban will go to Thailand and Cambodia, before the key summit in Vietnam. The UN leader will hold talks with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and other Thai government representatives during a brief stay in Bangkok on October 26 before moving on the same day to Cambodia. In Phnom Penh, he will meet with King Norodom Sihamoni and Prime Minister Hun Sen. Ban moves on to Vietnam on October 28 to attend a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The UN leader has urged ASEAN to put more pressure on Myanmar to free Aung San Suu Kyi and other opposition figures ahead of the country's much criticised election on November 7.
