September 12, 2011
At the invitation of Prime Minister
Gillard, the President will visit Australia on November

the APEC agenda and expand bilateral cooperation to
increase global economic growth, trade and jobs. The
vPresident looksforward to consulting closely with the Prime
Minister on global and regional issues in preparation for
the East Asia Summit to be held later thatweek in Bali,
Indonesia.
Additional details about the President’s
trip will be released at a
later
date.
