South Asia Leaders to Hold Summit on Aid and Restructuring

Zaman Daily Online reports that Indonesia Foreign Minister Hasan Wirajuda has announced that the presidents and representatives from 10 members of the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation will meet January 6, 2005 in Indonesia. They will discuss regional needs and restructuring following the December 26, 2004 earthquake and tsunami that struck South Asia and Africa. They were scheduled to hold their 13th Summit in Dhaka, Bangladesh, January 9-11, 2005. It was postponed because four members were hit hard by the disaster, which has taken more than 125,000 lives.
