Obama to Meet Saakashvili on Saturday

U.S. President Barack Obama will meet his Georgian counterpart Mikheil Saakashvili on a sideline of NATO summit in Lisbon on November 20, the White House said, Reuters and AFP reported.

The meeting, long sought by the Georgian leader, will be the first one-on-one talks between Obama and Saakashvili, although the two briefly met at the Washington nuclear security summit in April.

President Saakashvili, who was in Brussels on November 17-18 meeting with European Commission President José Manuel Barroso and European Union President Herman Van Rompuy, will participate in a meeting of NATO and its allies, contributing troops to the Afghan operation, on the sideline of the Lisbon summit.
