Clinton delays her trip to Morocco over stomach virus
U.S. State of Secretary Hillary Clinton has delayed for a day her trip to Morocco for a meeting on the future of Syria's opposition, the State Department said.
Mrs Clinton, was due to depart for the meeting in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Monday, will now leave on Tuesday, spokesman Philippe Reines said in an emailed statement. In Morocco, the U.S. State of Secretary was to meet with "Friends of Syria" group.
"Because she has a stomach virus, our departure for Morocco has been moved from Monday to Tuesday. She will not have any schedule tomorrow in Washington," Mr Reines said.
Mrs Clinton is due to join foreign ministers from allied nations in Morocco to discuss the 20-month old Syria crisis as rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad push forward on the battlefield and take steps to unify the political opposition.
After her meetings in Morocco, Hillary Clinton will leave for Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.
