Clinton Begins His Three-day Germany Visit

U.S. President Bill Clinton arrived in Berlin's Tegel Airport on Thursday afternoon and began his three-day visit to Germany.

The most important program of the visit is attending the summit conference of "the Modern Government of 21st Century" on Friday and Saturday in Palace Charlottenburg in Berlin. 13 heads of state and government will take part in.

It is the last Europe-trip of Clinton before leaving White house in January. The summit conference of "the Modern Government of 21st Century" is called also the summit of 14 center-left leaders in Berlin. It aimed at working out a common strategy during the globalization time.

Clinton's talk with the German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder will touch upon the incident which influenced the bilateral relations that more than 1000 children from failed marriages between Germans and Americans are being kept illegally in Germany away from their American parents. According to German officials, Schroeder will help to resolve this problem.

The U.S. national missile defense system can no doubt be the main theme of the talks of the two leaders. America hoped that Europe can accept the system. But the German government stresses that it fears a two-class security system within the NATO alliance.

The long-running negotiations about compensation of Nazi-era slave labors and the planned construction of a new American embassy next to the Berlin's Brandenburg's Gate will be the top issues of the bilateral talks.

Clinton will travel to Moscow this weekend and the Russian Federal President Vladimir Putin will visit Germany on June 15-16. Therefore the relations with Russia will be a focus of the two leaders' meeting.
