奧巴馬將在白宮會晤伊拉克總理
U.S. President Barack Obama will hold talks Monday at the White House with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, with the two leaders discussing the future of Iraq as U.S. forces complete their withdrawal from the country by the end of the month. White House officials say the meeting will cover efforts to "start a new chapter" in their strategic partnership, and will also include issues such as energy and education.
Mr. Obama and Mr. Maliki will hold a joint news conference after their meeting. They are scheduled to visit nearby Arlington National Cemetery, where some of the nearly 4,500 U.S. service members killed in Iraq since the war began in 2003 are buried. Mr. Maliki arrived in Washington Sunday, in time for dinner with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He also is expected to hold talks with Vice President Joe Biden during his two-day visit.美國總統奧巴馬星期一將在白宮與伊拉克總理馬利基會談。在美軍於本月底前即將完成從伊拉克撤軍之際，兩國領導人將討論伊拉克的未來。白宮官員說，這次會議將討論爲戰略伙伴關係新篇章的開端要做出的努力，以及能源和教育等問題。
奧巴馬和馬利基將在會談後舉行聯合記者會。他們計劃隨後訪問鄰近的阿靈頓國家公墓。伊拉克戰爭2003年開始後在伊陣亡的近4500名美國軍人中的一部分埋葬在這裏。馬利基星期天抵達華盛頓，並在當天與美國國務卿希拉里·克林頓共進晚餐。預計他在爲期兩天的訪問中還將與副總統拜登會談。
