The British version of the account of the meeting between Prime Ministers Harper and Brown is on the British PM's Web site.
The Canadian version was distributed to reporters travelling with PM Harper during his visit to Europe and, as I was one of those reporters, I reproduce it below:
Prime Minister Harper met Prime Minister Brown at 10 Downing Street today where they discussed the forthcoming G8 Summit and a range of issues including the global economy; the international development agenda and Afghanistan.
They also discussed the environment and the Prime Minister's address earlier in the afternoon to the Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce on the theme of climate change.
As well, they agreed that the forthcoming Canada-EU Summit should see real progress on the Canada-EU economic agenda.
Shortly after that meeting concluded, Prime Minister Harper met with HM, Queen Elizabeth.
The British note, about the same meeting, is a bit different and gives more emphasis to Afghanistan. Brown's PR people says the issue of Zimbabwe was brought up; the Canadians made no such reference. Brown's people said there was discussion of the Millenium Development Goals.
These differences are important as we saw with Italy.
Shortly after Italian PM Sylvio Berlusconi met with Harper, Berlusconi put out a statement saying he would reconsider the caveats that are restricting Italian soldiers in Afghanistan.
But there was no word from PM Harper's communications people that they touched on this issue. Here is the note sent around to reporters after the Berlusconi meeting:
Prime Minister Harper met Prime Minister Berlusconi in Rome on May 28th. It was their first meeting.
The leaders had a long private meeting which spanned a variety issues and concerns common to both countries. As well they discussed the forthcoming G8 Summit.
Their meeting continued with an informal and wide-ranging discussion over dinner, which lasted two hours.
Coming only several weeks after Prime Minister Berlusconi assumed office, the meeting established a solid, open and friendly basis for the ongoing relationship between Canada and Italy.
The Toronto Star's Allan Woods, today, reports on the PMO Communications staff when they are abroad. You may wish to read that and reflect on the fact that you've just read the sum total of what Canada's prime minister had to officially say about two meetings with two NATO leaders.
