Annan to meet Secretary of State Rice and speak at Africa forum in Washington

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan will travel to Washington tomorrow to meet with United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Earlier in the day he will make the keynote speech at the forum “Africa Matters” to an audience of political leaders and business people.

The forum is part of a four-day Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBC) that focuses on the health, economic, educational, and political state of black communities, where all of the forums are being chaired by black legislative leaders in the U.S. government.

Mr. Annan met with United States President George W. Bush prior to the World Summit last week, when they discussed a broad range of global issues.
