UN Secretary-general Ban Ki- moon will travel to Asia on Oct. 26 to meet with heads of state there and attend a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), UN spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters here on Tuesday.

Ban is set to visit Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and China. "He will discuss the UN's relations with the countries he is visiting, regional and global issues, as well as UN-ASEAN cooperation," said Haq.

The secretary-general will attend the 17th annual ASEAN summit in the Vietnamese capital city of Hanoi, the spokesman said.

In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu told a news briefing on Tuesday that Ban will visit China from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3 at the invitation of the Chinese government.

"We hope his visit could further improve cooperation between China and the UN," Ma said.
