WASHINGTON, March 24 (Xinhuanet) -- US President George W. Bush will visit Latvia, the Netherlands, Russia, and Georgia in May to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, the White House announced on Thursday.

    The May 6-10 trip will include talks with the presidents of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in Riga, Latvia, the White House said in a statement.

    Bush will hold bilateral talks in the Netherlands and visit the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial at Margraten near Maastricht. He will then travel to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and to take part in a World War II ceremony.

    Bush will conclude his trip in Tbilisi, Georgia "to underscore his support for democracy, historic reform, and peaceful conflict resolution," the White House said.

    Bush has urged Moscow to abandon two Soviet-era military bases in Georgia since a bloodless revolution brought Western-leaning President Mikhail Saakashvili to power.Enditem
