President Barack Obama<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thousands of people are expected to welcome US President Barack Obama to Dublin as he begins his tour of the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Mr Obama will also pay a visit to his ancestral home in Moneygall, Co Offaly, as part of a 24-hour visit to the Republic of Ireland.<\/p>\n

He will then fly to the UK to begin a three day state visit, during which Britain and the United States are set to announce the creation of a joint security body to work together on long-term foreign affairs issues.<\/p>\n

The new joint national security strategy board will be jointly headed by Britain National Security adviser Sir Peter Ricketts and his US counterpart, Tom Donilon, the Daily Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n

It is expected to meet several times a year and look at issues such as potential threats from international terrorist organisations and rogue states.<\/p>\n

The disclosure came after Foreign Secretary William Hague had earlier stated that the \u201cspecial relationship\u201d between London and Washington remains as close as ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very special. I think the longer a US administration is in power the more they appreciate that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see that in government. The co-operation that I see every day in intelligence matters is without parallel in the world. So is our nuclear co-operation. Our armed forces are working together with intimate closeness.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is expected that the formation of a second US-UK body \u2013 a service personnel joint taskforce looking at welfare issues for serving and retired military personnel \u2013 will also be announced during the visit.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people are expected to attend today\u2019s open air concert in Dublin, which will feature Sharon Shannon, Mundy, The Coronas, Imelda May and Jedward.<\/p>\n
