But it is likely that Mr. Kissinger, a close outside adviser to Mr. McCain’s campaign, will give Ms. Palin a broad overview of international affairs, focusing particularly on Russia, China and the Middle East. Mr. Kissinger, who was national security adviser and secretary of state in the Nixon and Ford administrations, is regularly called on by Mr. McCain for advice on foreign affairs.

But Mr. Kissinger differs with Mr. McCain on some key aspects of foreign policy, including his support for direct American negotiations with Iran without conditions.

Mr. Uribe is certain to talk to Ms. Palin about a crucial issue between his country and the United States, a trade proposal that would lift tariffs on many goods. Mr. McCain argues that the pact would open up markets for American manufactured goods and farm products and bolster relations with an important ally that receives about $600 million a year in counterinsurgency and anti-narcotics aid.

But Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, opposes the trade deal, because of fears among American workers about job losses and concern among labor leaders about the killings of union officials in Colombia. The proposal has been held up by Democrats in Congress.
