Cameron, Putin to talk on Syria prior to G8 summit

British Prime Minister David Cameron is to discuss the crisis in Syria with Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of next week's G8 summit, the premier told parliament on Wednesday, dpa reported.

Cameron will host Putin at Downing Street on Sunday, before the two-day summit begins the following day.

"We should use the G8 to try and bring pressure on all sides to bring about what we all want in this House, which is a peace conference, a peace process and a move towards a transitional government in Syria," Cameron said.
