» Friday, February 4, 2005Condoleezza Rice Visit
Put to her that Condoleezza Rice had said at an earlier press conference that "an attack on Iran was not on the agenda at this point" and did that mean that something may happen later on, the PMOS said that Jack Straw’s words had clearly set out the situation. The PMS said that the Prime Minister had held good talks with Dr. Rice this morning where they discussed issues including the Middle East Peace Process, and the meeting in March with the Palestinians, which Dr Rice would attend. They also spoke about President Bush’s trip to Europe later this month and the future of Iraq. We were pursuing a policy of critical engagement with Iran, and this robust engagement had led to the Iranian agreement to suspend all fuel enrichment activities and cooperate with the IAEA. Asked for more information on the Prime Minister’s meeting with President Juncker of Luxembourg, the PMS said that they discussed the Lisbon Agenda for Economic Reform, which was an important part of Luxembourg’s Presidency Agenda. They also looked at the agenda for President Bush’s visit to Brussels at the end of February. Briefing took place at 11:00 | Search for related news Original PMOS briefings are © Crown Copyright.
