David Cameron to hold talks with Barack Obama
ASTANA. June 26. KAZINFORM UK Prime Minister David Cameron is to hold face-to-face talks with US President Barack Obama, with the BP oil spill, Afghanistan and the global economy set to dominate, Kazinform refers to BBC News.
The talks will take place in Canada on the fringes of the G8 and G20 summits.
Mr Cameron has told journalists there that he wants to see UK troops out of Afghanistan within five years.
The men may also discuss UK spending, amid Mr Obama's concerns that cuts in Europe may delay the global recovery.
President Obama has warned G20 leaders not to withdraw economic stimulus packages too early.
But on Friday Mr Cameron said there was "no difference" between the US and UK on plans for quick government spending cuts.
Mr Cameron said the US accepted that those with the biggest deficits had to "accelerate the process of dealing with them".
And Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has insisted that Europe's leaders are making good progress in talks with the US about how to bolster fragile economic growth.
Meanwhile Mr Cameron and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev have signalled a thaw in relations between their two countries after meeting on the fringes of the G8 summit.
The prime minister said the two countries shared "lots of common ground" on economic issues, while President Medvedev said he looked forward to a "more productive and more intense" bilateral relationship, Kazinform cites BBC News. See www.bbc.co.uk for full version.
