Hillary Clinton will make his first official visit to Spain this weekend

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make his first official visit to Spain this weekend, according to Spanish and U.S. diplomatic sources. Clinton is scheduled to arrive in Madrid from Vilnius (Lithuania), where he will attend a ministerial meeting of the Community of Democracies, which is received by the King, the Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, and the Minister of Affairs Affairs and Cooperation, Trinidad Jiménez, before returning to Washington.


The importance of the visit is that it is the first that makes Spain a charge of U.S. diplomacy since June 2007, when Condoleezza Rice was in Madrid, Secretary of State George W. Bush. The highest authority of the Obama has traveled to Spain is the Vice President Joe Biden, in May 2010.
