WASHINGTON, DC – In early February, Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Brussels, Belgium and Munich, Germany. In Brussels, the Vice President will meet with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, European Council President Donald Tusk, European Parliament President Martin Schulz and other European Union leaders. In Munich, the Vice President will deliver remarks at the Munich Security Conference, where he will also meet with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and other leaders. In both stops, the Vice President will discuss a full range of bilateral, regional and global issues. Additional details about the Vice President’s trip are forthcoming.

Hi

Thanks for the heads up Banter.
A guess would be that Joe Biden would be visiting BRU during the NATO defence ministers meeting on 4-5 Feb 2015 at Brussels.
That's where he could easily meet with Jens Stoltenberg and other NATO defence ministers.

Due you have any idea on what he will be travelling abroad .. I know POTUS travels the VC-25 , the Secretary of Foreign affairs does so on the VC-32 and the Secretary of Defence usually takes the E-4B, but what about a Vice president of the US ...? Never witnessed a visit of the vice president of the US in Belgium so ... no idea ... also VC-32, or the spare VC-25?? :D

Hi,

Just wanted to make a conformation statement as previously I suggested a date which appeared not to be as correct.
Vice president Joe Biden will visit Brussels on 6TH OF FEBRUARY. Just so you know ;)

The USAF E-4B with US sec. of Defence should be in the afternoon/evening of the 4th (very small chance on the 3t aldready) and most probably leaving the 5th after the meeting (might be late).

This evening SAM158 (C-32A / 99-0004) has landed at Brussels. Probably John Kerry on board.
