Indonesia's President arrives in Japan
Indonesia's President, Megawati Sukarnoputri, has arrived in Tokyo to hold talks with Japan's Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi, on the US-led war against terror.
During her five-day stay in Japan, Megawati will also meet Japanese Foreign Minister Makiko Tanaka, Finance Minister Masajuro Shiokawa and trade minister, Takeo Hiranuma.
The fight against terrorism is likely to be high on the agenda of her meetings with Japanese leaders in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the United States.
Megawati and Koizumi separately met U-S President George W. Bush in Washington over the past week and condemned the September 11 attacks.
Mr Koizumi returned home on Wednesday from Washington, where he promised the US president full support for his planned retaliation.
Megawati, who heads the world's most populous Muslim country, faces strong domestic pressure as protesters demonstrate against any retaliatory US attack on Afghanistan.
