克里訪問布魯塞爾和倫敦大綱

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visits Brussels and London Monday, the first senior U.S. official to visit either location since the British vote last week to leave the European Union in a move that is of great concern in Washington.

U.S. officials say will express U.S. support for Britain and stress the importance of other EU members remaining in the bloc.

He said Sunday the U.S. regrets the "Brexit" vote, but vowed to continue a close relationship with EU.

His talks in Brussels come amid a flurry of top-level diplomatic activity Monday, including the leaders of European powers Germany, France and Italy getting together to discuss what's next now that Britain is pulling out.

Kerry is then heading to London to meet with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and other officials.

British Finance Minister George Osborne said Monday that "the fundamentals of the British economy are strong" and Britain will "provide stability in these challenging times."美國國務卿克里星期一將訪問布魯塞爾和倫敦。自英國通過公投決定脫離歐盟以來，克里將是訪問布魯塞爾和倫敦的首位美國高級官員。英國脫歐引起華盛頓的高度關注。

美國官員說，克里將表達對英國的支持，並將強調其他歐盟成員國留在歐盟的重要性。

克里星期日說，美國對英國脫歐公投感到遺憾，但誓言將繼續與歐盟保持密切關係。

克里訪問布魯塞爾之際，歐盟星期一將有一系列高層外交活動，包括歐盟強國德國、法國和意大利領導人討論歐盟在英國脫歐後所應採取的舉措。

結束對布魯塞爾的訪問後，克里將前往倫敦，會見英國外交大臣哈蒙德和其他官員。

英國財政大臣奧斯本星期一說，英國經濟基礎牢固，將在目前極具挑戰性的時刻維持穩定。
