On October 12, Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Cairo to participate in an international conference for Gaza reconstruction. Secretary Kerry will join EU, UN, Arab League, and other foreign leaders in support of a major humanitarian assistance and reconstruction effort to benefit Palestinians living in Gaza. This will build on the commitment of $118 million from the United States in humanitarian assistance to Gaza announced in September.

Secretary Kerry will then travel to Paris to meet with French Foreign Minister Fabius, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, as well as other partners.

Finally, Secretary Kerry will travel to Vienna, Austria on October 15 for a trilateral meeting with EU High Representative Lady Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif as part of the comprehensive nuclear negotiations with Iran. This meeting will follow on the two trilateral meetings held in New York recently during the UN General Assembly and is part of the EU-led P5+1 negotiations with Iran. In preparation for this trilateral meeting, on October 14, Deputy Secretary William J. Burns, Under Secretary Wendy R. Sherman, and Senior Advisor Jake J. Sullivan – with the US negotiating team – will meet bilaterally with Iran in Vienna. Deputy EU Secretary General for the External Action Service Helga Schmid along with their expert team will join this meeting as well. We will be releasing a full U.S. delegation list for the bilateral meeting later today.
