[01] Possible Rice visit to Athens next week
Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis on Wednesday informed President
of the Republic Karolos Papoulis about a tentative visit to the country
next week by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, adding that the US
official's arrival in Athens is set for April 27, although the exact
itinerary is still pending.
Bakoyannis made the announcement in response to a question by
Papoulias, during his greeting of the foreign minister at the
presidential mansion.
Rice's visit will come ahead of a NATO foreign ministers' meeting in
Sofia.
Afterwards, Bakoyannis dismissed any concerns over protests against the
Rice visit, while citing traditionally good Greek-US relations.
