New Delhi, December 8
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today called off a three-day visit to the Philippines from Monday after the postponement of a summit of Asian leaders on Cebu island due to concerns over an incoming tropical storm.
External affairs ministry officials said the Prime Minister would go ahead with his trip to Japan from December 13 to 16.
The Prime Minister was scheduled to fly to Tokyo from Cebu on December 13, but would now leave New Delhi on that date and return here on December 16.
The annual East Asia summit from December 11 has been postponed until early January.
