US state dept. official arriving for 3-day visit
AMBASSADOR Christopher R. Hill, US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, arrives in Manila Tuesday on a three-day official visit, his first to the country since assuming his current post in 2005.
The US Embassy said that apart from meeting with officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs and other government agencies, Hill will attend meetings of the Asean Regional Forum Inter-Sessional Support Group on Confidence-Building Measures and Preventive Diplomacy.
Hill assumed his responsibilities as assistant secretary of state in April 2005. He has served as ambassador to South Korea, Poland and Macedonia. He serves as the head of the US delegation to the six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear issue, and is the US state department's most senior official on East Asian and Pacific affairs.
