From South Africa to China, the United States to Pakistan, UK’s Queen Elizabeth II met, hosted and visited a long list of official figures in her role as head of state of the United Kingdom.

From South Africa to China, the United States to Pakistan,

After ascending to the throne in 1952, Elizabeth’s state visits that decade included a trip to the United States in 1957, where she met then President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the second U.S. president that she would meet. She travelled to China in 1986 to meet then Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping and became the first British monarch to walk on the Great Wall of China.

She was greeted by then Russian President Boris Yeltsin. She also visited and hosted South Africa’s first Black president, the late Nelson Mandela, as well as travelled to Pakistan where she met former president Farooq Leghari.While the British monarch only wields soft power, Elizabeth’s dedication to the duty of queenship earned her widespread respect both in Britain and abroad.

”If you look at what those successive governments represented cumulatively is continuing colonialism, racism at home, anti-immigration policy. She’s been the perfect benign figure to represent that to the world,” he said ahead of the UK-wide celebrations that marked the 70th anniversary of the Queen’s reign.

Late French president Jacques Chirac and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel are among the many European leaders the queen met during her reign.
