4. Kerry was invited to come for Bastile Day in France

Finally, a programming note. Secretary Kerry will travel this week – starting this week. He’ll travel to Paris at the invitation of President Hollande to attend Bastille Day celebrations. He will – the travel starts Wednesday. The Bastille Day celebrations are obviously on the 14th. Later that evening on the 14th, he’ll travel to Moscow where he will begin a series of meetings with senior Russian officials to discuss Syria, Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh, among other issues. He’ll then travel to Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, on the 15th of July, where he will meet with the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn to discuss a range of bilateral issues, the transatlantic relationship, and a variety of other issues of mutual interest to us both.

The Secretary will then travel to Brussels from July 17th to the 18th where he will meet with EU member-state foreign ministers and EU High Representative Federica Mogherini ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council, and there to discuss of course key foreign policy priorities across the continent.

Next, the Secretary will travel to London on the 18th and the 19th, where he will attend multilateral meetings on Yemen and on Syria.
