Secretary Clinton: Travel to London and Paris, January 26-29, 2010
January 26, 2010 to January 29, 2010Secretary of State Clinton is traveling to London and Paris from January 26 to 29, 2010.
In London, Secretary Clinton will attend a ministerial meeting on Yemen on January 27 and the International Conference on Afghanistan on January 28. The goal of the Yemen meeting is to consolidate international support for Yemen, coordinate assistance efforts, and reach agreement on assisting Yemen in its political and economic reform efforts. The objective of the London Conference on Afghanistan is to demonstrate the international community’s support for Afghanistan’s future and the agenda outlined by President Karzai in his November 19 inauguration speech. The meetings will focus on the implementation of our strategy in support of Afghanistan’s security, governance and development, and improved international civilian coordination.
The Secretary will end her trip in Paris, where she will give a speech on European security, in addition to meeting with President Sarkozy and Foreign Minister Kouchner to discuss the international Haiti relief effort, developments in Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and an array of other issues of mutual concern.
Yes, Hillforce One is off again. Mme. Secretary, as always we are praying for your safe and successful trip. We are all looking forward to seeing pictures of you tomorrow from London. Be well!
