President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will Wednesday join 17 other world leaders in launching the Africa Commission in Denmark.

The Commission, intended to formulate new strategies to strengthen international cooperation with Africa, is being proposed and chaired by Danish Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

While in Copenhagen, the Danish capital, the Liberian President will hold talks with Prime Minister Rasmussen and other Danish officials, aimed at reactivating bilateral relations between the two countries.

The President who left the country late Tuesday afternoon, travels to the United States for a two-week visit following the four-day official trip to Denmark. While in America, President Johnson Sirleaf will participate in a number of events, including fund raising activities for the Liberia Education Trust and undertake medicals. The Liberian leader will also use the U.S. visit to take off a few days' rest.
