Swedish Prime Minister to Visit White House
Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush will welcome Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson
for a meeting in the White House on December 3. Persson
hosted the President in Sweden in June, and the President is delighted
to welcome the Prime Minister to a return visit. The Swedish
people have shown great sympathy and solidarity with America since the
attack of September 11, and the Swedish government has taken a number
of concrete steps to help in the war on terrorism. This
visit will be an opportunity to review common efforts and to discuss
the road ahead in this common challenge.
