Obama to meet Condoleezza Rice Friday
Washington, US President Barack Obama will welcome former secretary of state and national security advisor Condoleezza Rice back to the White House on Friday.
Obama has sharp foreign policy differences with Rice, a Republican who was a key figure in the run-up to the Iraq war under George W. Bush's administration which Obama always opposed.
The president also frequently criticized the former White House team for neglecting the Afghan war, as he formulated a new strategy last year.
But Obama and Rice are both racial pioneers. He is America's first African American president and she is the highest-ranking black woman in the history of the executive branch of the US government.
In an interview on MSNBC on Wednesday, Rice said that comments by former Republican House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich that Obama's worldview was "anti-colonial" owing to his African heritage were "over the top."
Rice, who has returned to academic life, is currently promoting a memoir and will meet Obama in the Oval Office.
