State Visit to the United Kingdom
Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush will travel to London on November 18-21, 2003, for a State Visit to the United Kingdom. This State Visit is the first time
an American President has visited the United Kingdom as a guest of the
Queen since President Reagan's visit in 1982.
The United Kingdom is working together with us on a wide range of
issues, including strengthening freedom, peace, and security in the
greater Middle East region; building stable democratic societies in
Afghanistan and Iraq; fighting terrorism; preventing the spread of
weapons of mass destruction; and promoting global health and economic
development. On behalf of the American people, the President is deeply
grateful to the people of the United Kingdom for their courage and
sacrifices in support of freedom and democracy throughout the world.
