G8/G20 summits

Asked if the subject of Alexander Litvinyenko would be raised in any bilateral with President Medvedev, the PMS advised people to wait for bilaterals to be confirmed before agendas could be discussed.

Asked for the Prime Minister’s hopes for the two summits, the PMS said that the Prime Minister was looking forward to the two meetings. The focus for the G8 would be on international development and how we could reduce the number of women dying in childbirth and how to reduce the number of children dying before their fifth birthday in developing countries. There would also be discussions on foreign policy and security issues.

For the G20, issues such as fiscal consolidation and global growth would be discussed. The Government would keep pushing on steps for structural reform as well as action on trade.

Asked if there would be a bilateral with President Obama on Saturday, the PMS said there would be. Asked if the issue of BP would be raised in the bilateral, the PMS said he expected it to be discussed.
