Secretary Rice Meets With Quartet in Portugal To Discuss Middle East
Secretary Rice : "I am delighted to be here on my first official visit to Portugal, in fact, my first visit to Portugal and such a beautiful country that it is. ... I want to thank you ...for the leadership that you are showing in your new role as the presidency of the European Union. ...
