G8
« Zimbabwe | Back to most recent briefing | Miscellaneous »
The Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) began the briefing by running through the day so far. The first event today was a G8 lunch with some of the main African leaders including leaders from Algeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, as well as the African Union, the UN and the World Bank. At the start of lunch there was a minute’s silence for the victims of the 7/7 attacks. That lunch was followed by a meeting with the same group and there would be an informal dinner this evening for the G8 leaders and their spouses. The Prime Minister had bilaterals today with the Japanese Prime Minister Mr Fukuda, with the President of Tanzania who is also head of the African Union, Mr Kikwete, Mr Mbeki, and of course he also met Mr Medvedev.
Tomorrow discussions in the morning would focus on the world economy. They would also be discussing the environment over lunch, and in the afternoon development and food prices. In the evening at dinner they would be discussing some of the wider international foreign policy issues.
