UK, France want action on credit crunch, U.N. reform
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy will build on a new spirit of Anglo-French cooperation this week by calling for action to halt financial turmoil and by urging U.N. reform.
They will also discuss a possible French role in building new British nuclear power plants, action on illegal immigration and how to square French wishes for a greater EU role in defence with Britain's staunch support of NATO.
Sarkozy arrives in Britain on Wednesday for a two-day state visit, the first by a French president since Jacques Chirac in 1996. He and his new wife Carla Bruni will be guests of Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, near London.
