UN chief to travel to Turkey this weekend to attend regional meeting

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 30, 2007 (AFP) - UN chief Ban Ki-moon is to travel to Turkey this weekend to attend a ministerial meeting of countries neighboring Iraq, a UN spokeswoman said Tuesday.

"The focus of the meeting in Istanbul on Saturday 'will be on ways to promote greater regional dialogue and strengthen the work of the three regional working groups" on refugees and displaced people, border security and energy, spokeswoman Marie Okabe said.

The visit comes amid growing tensions over Turkish warnings of an incursion against Kurdish militants in north Iraq.
