The US President, Mr Barack Obama, would host a summit with the leaders of the European Union at White House on November 28, a senior US official has said.
“The President looks forward to meeting with European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission President Josanuel Barroso and High Representative Catherine Ashton to discuss a broad range of issues of mutual concern,” White House Press Secretary, Mr Jay Carney, said in a statement.
The leaders would discuss global economy, efforts to strengthen economic ties and growth; their joint work to support democracy and prosperity in the European neighbourhood, across the Middle East and North Africa, and in other regions, he said.
Coordination on Iran and leaders’ commitment to improved transatlantic law enforcement and counter-terrorism cooperation would also be discussed, Mr Carney said.
“The European Union and the United States enjoy strong relations and partner together around the world to advance shared interests and values,” he said.
The last US-EU Summit was held in Lisbon, Portugal on November 20 last year.
