Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg met with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to discuss a number of issues.

This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government

Referring to the discussion, Nick Clegg said:

We discussed a wide range of issues, including Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Middle East Peace Process and Sudan.

I made clear to Secretary Clinton that recent Wikileaks disclosures would not affect our uniquely strong relationship. UK-US co-operation will continue with the same depth and closeness as before.

I also took the opportunity to raise the case of Shaker Aamer, the last remaining British resident detained in Guantanamo Bay. I stressed the importance to the UK of early movement on his case.
