British Labor leader, France's Hollande agree on growth

Britain's opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband on Tuesday become the first senior British politician to be received in Paris by the newly elected Socialist President Francois Hollande.

The visit came after Britain's Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron apparently snubbed Hollande when he made an election campaign visit to London in February.
