US President George W. Bush will welcome Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua on December 13 for talks on issues including unrest in Somalia and Sudan's Darfur province, the White House said Thursday.
"This visit will provide an opportunity for the president to be briefed by President Yar'Adua on his experiences during his first six months in office," Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement.
"The two leaders will discuss electoral reform and related issues, energy, and the situation in the Niger Delta. They will also discuss the ongoing crises in Somalia and Darfur," she said.
Bush announced one week ago that he and First Lady Laura Bush would travel to sub-Saharan Africa in early 2008, the final full year of his presidency.
