Kerry makes first trip as diplomat

2013-02-25 17

John Kerry touched down in London on Sunday (February 24) to begin his first foreign trip as U.S. secretary of state.

Kerry views the trip as a listening tour, but the leaders he meets will want to hear whether he has any new ideas on Syria, Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Kerry left Washington on Sunday for London, the first stop on a nine-nation, 11-day trip that will also take him to Berlin, Paris, Rome, Ankara, Cairo, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Doha before he returns home on March 6.
