Conservative aides said they expected the discussions to cover a wide range of international topics, including Afghanistan, the Middle East peace process, Iran's nuclear programme and political developments in the Balkans.

Mr Hague is also due to meet national security adviser general Jim Jones and attend a briefing on strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan at the Pentagon.

He is scheduled to meet chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee Senator John Kerry, former presidential candidate Senator John McCain and the president of the World Bank Robert Zoellick.

Speaking ahead of his visit, Mr Hague said: "Few of the pressing foreign policy challenges we face today can be addressed without US leadership and without strong and effective co-operation between the United States and Great Britain.

"With this in mind, I am visiting the US to reaffirm our historic alliance and underline the Conservative Party's firm commitment to addressing the common global challenges which confront us and to working with the Obama administration to that end."
