President Wahid

The President of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid telephoned me late this afternoon to inform me that for domestic political reasons a postponement of his projected visit to Australia would be necessary.

He told me that he still wished to visit Australia and that he hoped that visit could take place soon.
