Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will travel to London, Dublin, Belfast, and Moscow from October 9 to 15, 2009.
In London and Dublin, Secretary Clinton will engage in a series of discussions on a wide range of bilateral, transatlantic, and global issues. In Belfast, the Secretary will emphasize the U.S. commitment to the joint economic prosperity of Northern Ireland and the United States, as well as reaffirming unwavering U.S. support for Northern Ireland’s peace process.
In Moscow, the Secretary will meet with senior Russian officials to discuss progress on a successor agreement to START, cooperation on nonproliferation and counterterrorism, and next steps for the Clinton-Lavrov commission.
I wish I could be with my new-found family in the north to see her in Belfast. We've been apart for 180 years, but I feel their love for us and for Hillary.
