Annan, King Abdullah to visit White House

ALBUQUERQUE, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- King Abdullah of Jordan and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan have set visits to the White House to meet with U.S. President George Bush.

King Abdullah's visit was scheduled for Wednesday. The agenda is expected to include Iraq and "the struggle against extremism," a White House release stated.

Annan, whose term as secretary-general ends this year, is to meet with Bush on Feb. 13. The White House said the men would talk about U.N. reform and the promotion of human rights, among other issues.

White House press officers made the announcements Friday in Albuquerque, N.M., where Bush was delivering one of his post-State of the Union speeches.
