British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is slated to speak today at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.

Brown, who is no stranger to the area because he has summered in the past on the Cape, will be delivering a major foreign policy address, Kennedy Library and British consulate officials have said.

Governor Deval Patrick is expected to be among the dignitaries attending.

Brown met Thursday with President Bush, as well as the three presidential candidates. Brown reportedly discussed issues including Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East peace process, and the international economic slowdown.
