Description | Bush to Travel to Europe in June
The Honolulu Advertiser
President Bush will make two trips to Europe in June to mark the 60th anniversary of World War II, meet with European Union leaders in Ireland and attend a NATO summit in Turkey. White House officials said Monday that Bush's travels will begin in Italy with ceremonies on June 4, the anniversary of the liberation of Rome by American and allied forces. The president also will meet then at the Vatican with Pope Paul John Paul II - their third visit. Bush also will meet with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. Bush will travel June 5 to Paris to meet with French President Jacques Chirac. The next day, Bush will join other world leaders at Normandy to observe the 60th anniversary of the allies' landing that led to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Bush will gather with some of the same leaders a few day later when he returns to the United States to host the annual G-8 Summit of leading industrial nations, being held this year at Sea Island, Ga. In addition to the United States, the participants are Britain, Germany, Russia, France, Italy, Japan and Canada. |
