STORYLINE:

Syrian President Bashar Assad met Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

Assad, who is in Britain on a three-day official visit, was joined by his London-born wife, Asma, for the 20-minute
audience.

The Syrian President then visited Prince Charles on Tuesday evening.

Earlier in the day, the president's wife visited one of the prince's charity projects for young people starting
small businesses.

She toured Cockpit Workshops in north London, where the Prince's Trust offers new businesses premises on short-term rental agreements.

On Monday, Assad held talks with Prime Minister Tony Blair.

In a post-meeting news conference, Assad said the "realistic and constructive talks" had focused on Iraq, the Middle East peace process and terrorism.

Syria, which is on the U.S. State Department list of states that sponsor terrorism, is a key Middle East player.
