George W. Bush to Visit Georgia in May

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said President George W. Bush plans to visit the Netherlands and the ex-Soviet republics of Georgia and Latvia in May, during a previously announced trip to Russia to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II.

McClellan said Bush’s trip to Tbilisi, Georgia, will “underscore his support for democracy, historic reform and peaceful conflict resolution.”

Bush will arrive in Riga on May 6 for talks with Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga and will take part in a summit with leaders of the Baltic states of Estonia and Lithuania, McClellan said.

George W. Bush is expected to arrive in Georgia on May 10.
