The trip will take the Secretary to Bucharest, Romania; Ankara, Turkey; Brussels, Belgium; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; Astana, Kazakhstan; Moscow, Russia; Berlin, Germany; Paris, France; and London, England.

The trip will involve several multilateral meetings, beginning in Bucharest with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Throughout his trip, the Secretary will be consulting with coalition partners about the war on terrorism. His discussions will encompass the immediate and long-term challenges of rebuilding a post-Taliban Afghanistan. The Secretary will also continue the important work of recasting U.S. relationships with key countries in the region and press forward with efforts to secure democracy and human rights, building a Europe "whole, free and at peace."
