It is the first federal building in Washington designed for both governmental and private sector purposes. Preparations are in full swing for the only community event to be held during the visit of the prime minister. A national organising committee of 25 eminent people has been constituted, he said.

I am excited that this person is coming to America to extend goodwill between our two nations in one of the most strategically important relationships we have in the world," Congressman Rich McCormick said on Tuesday.
