Kerry to attend Mideast peace conference in Paris: State Dept

WASHINGTON, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – US Secretary of State
John Kerry will attend talks in Paris on January 15 aimed at throwing the international community’s weight behind a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday.
Around 70 countries will gather for the conference, although neither
Israel nor the Palestinians will be present for the meeting.
Kerry, who leaves office on January 20 when Donald Trump takes over
the White House, will also visit Vietnam, Britain and Davos, Switzerland on his final trip as secretary of state.
