    US secretary of state to join Parliament president in town hall
    meeting.

    Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, is to meet Hans-Gert
    Pöttering, the president of the European Parliament, in Brussels
    on Friday morning (6 March). After their talks, the two officials
    will participate in a 'town hall' meeting with young Europeans it
    the Parliament at 10am.

    As previously reported, Clinton will also on Friday hold talks with
    Karel Schwarzenberg, the foreign minister of the Czech Republic, the
    current holder of the rotating EU presidency, Benita Ferrero-Waldner,
    the European external affairs commissioner, and Javier Solana, the
    EU's foreign policy chief.

    Clinton's first tour to Europe since taking office will begin with an
    informal dinner with foreign ministers from EU and NATO member states
    plus Switzerland tomorrow evening (4 March). On Thursday (5 March),
    she will attend a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, where the main
    business is the preparation of the summit co-hosted by France and
    Germany next month.

    Clinton will then travel to Geneva for a meeting with Swiss Foreign
    Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey and with Sergei Lavrov, the foreign
    minister of Russia, before travelling to the Turkish capital, Ankara,
    where she will discuss a recent Turkish initiative for resolving the
    conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh and
    the situation in Georgia.
