Visits by Foreign Leaders

This resource presents basic historical information on visits by foreign heads of state or heads of government to the United States that included a meeting with the President, or with the Vice President if the President was indisposed or out of the country. Except for the San Francisco Conference in 1945, visits of leaders attending UN sessions are included only if the leader met separately with the President. Updates are published annually for the prior year. We invite questions and comments about this resource at history@state.gov.
