WASHINGTON: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cancelled her trip to Britain and Turkey on Monday because of her mother's ill health, a State Department official said.
"Due to her mother's illness, Secretary Clinton has cancelled her scheduled travel tonight to London and Istanbul and will instead remain in Washington," a senior State Department official said.
Clinton was scheduled to attend a conference on cyber-security in London on Tuesday and a regional conference on Afghan security in Istanbul on Wednesday. (Reuters)
