"Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao is unable to attend it but has ordered vice prime minister Jose Luis Gutteres and several senior and junior ministers to attend it," he told ANTARA here on Saturday in connection with the invitation from the Association of Indonesian Journalists (PWI) for the 65th anniversary of the National Press Day.
He said "Xanana has an important agenda which he has to attend and cannot delegate."
He said the vice prime minister`s delegation would total around 34 including 25 journalists.
The event will be attended by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and a number of cabinet ministers. (*)
