奥巴马访英巩固两国“特殊关系”

2011-06-04来源:Reuters

US President Barack Obama was treated to royal pomp at Buckingham Palace on a two-day state visit aimed at ensuring the United States and Britain keep the "special" in their relationship.

After an elaborate arrival ceremony, Obama and his wife Michelle were given a tour of the palace portrait gallery by Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip.

After laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey, Obama spent part of the afternoon playing Ping-Pong with British Prime Minister David Cameron and local high school students. Obama and Cameron are expected to announce the formation of a US-British National Security Council to work together on international challenges and share intelligence.
