Attending the state banquet and welcome ceremony

According to Beijing News, Peng will accompany Xi at a welcome ceremony and state banquet in the White House on Sept 25.

Chen Mingming, a member of the Public Diplomacy Advisory Panel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said it is basic etiquette and diplomatic practice for the first lady to attend welcome ceremonies and state banquets during visits to a foreign country.

Peng won't attend large- and small-scale talks between Xi and U.S. President Barack Obama or their meeting with the media.

On the principle of reciprocity, Peng will attend a private dinner held by Obama if U.S. first lady Michelle Obama attends.
