Condoleza Rice to visit Perth next week

[John Thoroughgood]

Just noticed on Sky News channel, that US Secretary of State, Ms Rice is to visit Perth next week, though didn't indicate which day.
Guess it's possible that her aircraft may touchdown in Sydney enroute?

Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Perth, Auckland, Apia, Hawaii, home

Hey Rhys,

I have read (on smh.com.au) that our Foreign Minister Stephen Smith asked her to visit his electorate of Perth when he was in Washington DC early this year to meet Rice who is his counterpart in the U.S. Should count your selves lucky to have to oppertunity to host her, both from being able to photograph her 757 and secondly from having your wonderful (in my opinion) city all over U.S. tv for a couple days :-)

Cheers

I wouldn't be surprised to see her pay a visit to the SAS Regiment as well to thank them for their efforts in Afghanistan.

I've seen a number of reports claiming that it's Condy's first visit to Oz - that of course is incorrect as she accompanied President Bush to Sydney and Canberra because his wife was ill.

also because George W has the hots for her, so the rumours go
