The President's Guest House , commonly known as Blair House has been the official guest house of visiting dignitaries in Washington D.C. since 1824 International trips made by the heads of state and heads of government to the United States have become a valuable part of American diplomacy and international relations since such trips were first made in the mid-19th century. They are complicated undertakings that often require months of planning along with a great deal of coordination and communication.
The first international visit to the United States was made by King Kalakaua of Hawaii in 1874, which was the first visit by a foreign chief of state or head of government.[1]
The first African head of state to visit the United States was President Edwin Barclay of Liberia in 1943.[2]
