A few moments ago, Prime Minister Harper spoke in depth with Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom about the grave, chaotic situation unfolding in Libya. The Prime Ministers were mutually appreciative for the very valuable help that both our countries had provided to each other in evacuating Canadian and British nationals from Libya and Egypt. The two Prime Ministers expressed their grave concern about deeply disturbing actions of the Gaddafi regime in suppressing and attacking its own citizens. They agreed to remain in close touch and to work hand-in-glove, both in terms of helping evacuate their nationals and others from Libya, and in finding ways to promote peace and democracy in that country and the region at large.
