Irish Peace On Clinton Agenda For Blair

President Clinton will meet in London this month with Britain’s new prime minister, Tony Blair, and is expected to urge Blair to reopen peace talks on Northern Ireland.

The May 29 meeting will be Clinton’s first with Blair as prime minister.

Clinton’s London visit will mark the end of a longer European trip.

If negotiations with Russia go as planned, Clinton will be in Paris on May 27 to sign a charter codifying Russia’s formal relationship with NATO. The next day, the president and leaders of the 15 other members of the Atlantic alliance are to hold a summit meeting in the Netherlands to mark the evolution of Europe since the Cold War.
