Honolulu police are advising motorists to expect traffic delays and road closures today and tomorrow during Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou's visit to Honolulu this weekend.

Specific travel times and routes are not being released because of security concerns.

Ma is on his way back to Taiwan after visits to Panama — where he attended the swearing-in of newly elected President Ricardo Martinelli — Honduras and Nicaragua.

AsianNews reported that Ma's scheduled meeting with Gov. Linda Lingle drew a rebuke from the Chinese government, which regards Taiwan as a "renegade province" and not an independent nation.
