Thu, 06 Jan 2011

Washington - US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will travel to the Middle East during the next week to attend a regional forum in Qatar and will make stops in other countries, the US State Department said Thursday.

Clinton departs Saturday for stops in the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar for discussions on a "full range" of regional issues and to explore ways to promote more dialogue between government and civil leaders, State Department spokesman PJ Crowley said.

"This engagement underscores the US commitment to support civil society and promote partnerships that lead to prosperity for the people of the region," Crowley said.

During the five-day trip Clinton will also attend the Seventh Forum for the Future in Qatar. The forum is designed to exchange ideas on working together to foster progress and expand opportunities for the people of the region, Crowley said.
