A Presidential Office source yesterday said that President Chen Shui-bian (???) is going on his fifth foreign trip later this month, in a visit to two diplomatic allies--Belize and Panama--in Central America, as well as making stopovers in the US.
"The main purpose of the president's state visit is to attend the inauguration ceremony for Panama's new president on Sep. 1," the source said, adding that the upcoming trip will be the third time Chen has flown to the country.
The source could not reveal the details of the entire trip, saying that some programs need further negotiation.
The source also said that the schedule for the president's stopover in the US remains undecided, but will likely include neither New York nor Washington.
