Prince Charles, Camilla commence Austrian visit

Xinhua, April 5, 2017 Adjust font size:

Prince Charles of Britain and his wife Camilla Parker Bowles commenced a two-day visit to Austria on Wednesday by meeting with the nation's leaders.

They were first received by Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen and his wife at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, where all four initially held talks, and later just the two men, local media reported.

The president's chancellery later confirmed the topics included climate change and sustainability, as well as bilateral relations and current issues in both Austria and Britain.

The royal couple then walked on foot to the office of Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern, with keen observers looking on behind specially-erected barriers along the way.

The two parties then held talks, the nature of their content as yet unconfirmed. Endit
