FACTBOX: Clinton's "to do" list on Europe, Russia trip

(Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heads to Europe late on Friday for a multi-country visit that will include stops in Switzerland, Britain, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Russia.

Washington's top diplomat will pursue a variety of topics at each stop, with the U.S. strategy review on Afghanistan factoring in many of her talks with key allies.

Below is a list of some of the issues Clinton is likely to address in each country, listed in the order in which they will be visited.

SWITZERLAND

Clinton will arrive in Zurich on Saturday to attend a ceremony at which Armenia and Turkey are expected to sign historic accords to normalize relations.

She may use the visit to discuss Iran with her counterparts from Russia, France and the European Union, who have also been invited to the ceremony, according to a State Department official.

BRITAIN

In London, Clinton will meet with Prime Minister Gordon Brown. She will discuss Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan during talks there while also reassuring some worried Britons that the "special relationship" with the United States is strong.

IRELAND & NORTHERN IRELAND

In Dublin, Clinton will meet with senior officials and reaffirm strong ties. Her visit comes shortly after Ireland voted to adopt the European Union's Lisbon treaty, ensuring its influence in the 27-nation bloc.

In Belfast, the secretary will emphasize U.S. support for political progress resulting from the peace process. She will also highlight U.S. efforts for economic recovery there. The United States recently appointed an economic envoy, Declan Kelly, to Northern Ireland.

RUSSIA

In Moscow, Clinton will meet with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Several issues will likely come up during those talks:

- progress on a replacement for the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which expires on December 5

- cooperation in missile defense after Washington revamped a Bush-era plan for a missile shield in Eastern Europe

- a commission, coordinated by Lavrov and Clinton, that covers issues such as arms control, energy, nuclear energy, fighting terrorism and drug trafficking, and efforts to boost business and scientific links

- developments in talks between major powers and Iran about Tehran's nuclear plans

- U.S. strategy on Afghanistan and Russian contributions to that country's development

After her talks in Moscow, Clinton will fly to Kazan in Russia's Republic of Tatarstan to illustrate the U.S. desire to engage with Russians across the country.
