The Trilateral Strategic Dialogue
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will travel to Chile, Peru, Indonesia and Australia from March 10 – March 18.
While in Australia, Rice will participate in the first ministerial-level Trilateral Strategic Dialogue with Australia and Japan in Sydney.
This is a rescheduling of the meeting that was planned for early January. It was postponed when Ariel Sharon had a serious stroke.
I wrote about the meeting in this post. As mentioned there, these trilateral meetings began in 2002, but these are the first to include the foreign ministers.
The talks will be about security, and China will take these talks as a bit of a poke in the eye because, since China isn't invited, China will understand that it is one of the chief perceived threats in East Asia the ministers will be discussing.
