Crown Prince Naruhito will leave for a weeklong tour of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos on June 25.
The schedule was reported Tuesday to a Cabinet meeting.
The crown prince last visited Thailand in 1994. He has never visited Cambodia or Laos.
His first destination is Bangkok, and he will return home after visiting five cities, including Laos’ capital Vientiane.
During the tour, the crown prince is scheduled to meet leaders of the three countries. In Cambodia, he will visit Angkor Wat.
He will also lay flowers at memorial monuments for the Japanese
police officer Haruyuki Takata, who was in a U.N. peacekeeping mission
in Cambodia, and Atsuhito Nakata, a Japanese volunteer who was working
for a U.N. election-monitoring program in the country. Both were killed
in armed attacks in Cambodia in 1993.
