President to Welcome German Chancellor Schroeder
The President will welcome German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to
the White House for a meeting and working lunch on June 27, 2005.
Germany is a strong ally and partner of the United States, working with
us to advance freedom and reform, promote prosperity and development,
and counter terrorism and proliferation around the world. Germany has
played a leading role in the international effort to assist the Afghan
people with security, developing the police, and reconstructing their
nation. Building on their February 2005 meeting in Mainz, Germany, the
two leaders intend to continue their discussion about how the United
States and Europe can work together on a broad agenda of global
issues.
