Kaczynski borrows charter plane from Mongolia
President Lech Kaczyński should be on his way to Japan as part of his tight eight-day schedule visiting Asia, however, his plans have encountered a glitch when the government plane couldn't take off due to freezing.
In order to
keep to the President's schedule, a plane has been chartered from Mangolia,
according to the head of the Presidential Chancellery, Piotr Kownacki. There
remains hope that the President's plane will be ready and a charter won't be
needed.
President Kaczyński, accompanied by his wife Maria, are on an eight-day visit
to Asia where the head of state will hold
talks on economic and security matters. While in Mangolia, the President
received an honorary doctorate at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Ulaanbaatar.
Following Mangolia, the President will head to Japan visiting Kyoto and Tokyo and meeting Emperor Akihito, Prime Minister Taro Aso and heads of parliament. Kaczyński will partake in celebrations of the 90th anniversary of Polish-Japanese diplomatic relations.
Then President Kaczyński will travel to South Korea with a scheduled return in Poland on Sunday.
