  State visit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A state visit is a formal visit by one head of state to another country, at the invitation of the other country's head of state.
State visits are the highest form of diplomatic contact between two states, and are marked by major ceremonial and diplomatic formality.
In practice most state visits lead to inter-state investment and a growth in jobs, often in the tourist sector of the country being visited, as its tourist sites and famous locations are visited in the glare of media publicity by the visiting head of state.
