WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Europe, the Middle East and Asia from Jan. 13 through Jan. 17, the White House said on Tuesday.

The trip, which will likely be Harris' last as vice president before leaving office on Jan. 20, will have stops in Singapore, Bahrain, and Germany, according to the White House. She will be accompanied by her husband, Doug Emhoff.

The White House said Harris will meet with leaders and visit Changi Naval Base while in Singapore on Jan. 15.

The following day, she will meet with leaders in Manama, Bahrain, and visit Naval Support Activity–Bahrain, the headquarters of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the U.S. 5th Fleet, it added.

On Jan. 16, Harris will be in Spangdahlem, Germany, to visit the U.S. Air Force 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem Air Base, according to the White House.

"Throughout her trip, the vice president will discuss the accomplishments of the Biden-Harris Administration over the past four years in each region, the U.S. partnership with the respective nations, the contributions of U.S. military forces to regional and global security, and the enduring national security interests of the United States," the White House said.

It added that Harris will engage with U.S. servicemembers during the trip.
