CHINA-LEADERSHIP: CHINESE VICE PRESIDENT TO GO ON TWO DAY TRIP TO KAZAKHSTAN MISSING OPENING DAY OF 20TH PARTY CONGRESS
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press briefing on October 11
that PRC Vice President Wang Qishan “will lead a delegation to Kazakhstan to attend the sixth
summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia [CICA]
in Astana".
(Comment: Wang Qishan's two-day trip is likely to mean that he will be absent from the Party
Congress that begins on October 16.)
