(London, April 26, Central News Agency comprehensive foreign report) Following reports of gunshots at a dinner attended by U.S. President Trump, Buckingham Palace announced today that the four-day itinerary for King Charles III and Queen Camilla's planned visit to the United States will proceed as scheduled.
Reuters reported that a Buckingham Palace spokesperson stated: "Following a day of consultations on both sides of the Atlantic, and based on government advice, we can confirm that Their Majesties' State Visit will proceed as planned."
"The King and Queen are deeply grateful to all those who have quickly assisted in ensuring the visit proceeds as scheduled, and look forward to the formal commencement of the itinerary tomorrow."
Agence France-Presse reported that gunshots occurred late last night at the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner, less than 48 hours before King Charles III and Queen Camilla were to embark on their four-day state visit to the United States.
Buckingham Palace had earlier stated that King Charles III was "greatly relieved" that Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and other guests were unharmed.
The visit, commencing on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, aims to highlight the historical partnership between the UK and the U.S. During this period, King Charles III and Camilla will visit Washington D.C. and New York.
King Charles III will also become the first British monarch to address the U.S. Congress since his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, did so in 1991. The royal couple will also have afternoon tea with Trump and Melania, and attend a state dinner. (Compiled by Ho Hung-ju) 1150427
