Washington: President Barack Obama will host British Prime Minister David Cameron at the White House on Thursday and Friday to discuss a broad range of issues including counterterrorism.
On Thursday, they will have a working dinner before meeting in the Oval Office on Friday. The Islamic State group, Ebola and Russia's incursions into Ukraine will all be on the table, the White House said, hailing the "enduring special relationship" between the two countries.
The statement made no explicit mention of the attacks in France that left 17 people dead this week, but said Obama and Cameron -- who are believed to enjoy close working ties -- will discuss counterterrorism efforts and IS extremists.
Britain has been one of Washington's chief partners in the US-led bombing raids of the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
Cameron previously visited the White House in May 2013 and in March 2012.
