Secretary Powell traveled to the Middle East and Europe, May 9 through May 16, stopping in Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Bulgaria, and Germany.

Secretary Powell’s visit to the Middle East was an opportunity to discuss bilateral relations, the confirmation of a new Palestinian leadership, our efforts to advance Arab-Israeli peace, the liberation of Iraq and progress towards a democratic, representative government in Baghdad.

His meetings in Russia, Bulgaria and Germany gave the Secretary the opportunity to discuss bilateral and trans-Atlantic relations with leaders in those countries, as well as to consult with them in their capacity as UN Security Council members on the liberation and reconstruction of Iraq.
