  State visit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State visits are the highest form of diplomatic contact between two states, and are marked by major ceremonial and diplomatic formality.
The visiting head of state is usually accompanied by a senior government minister, usually by the foreign minister.
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.
