British Prime Minister David Cameron made his first steps on the international scene this week at the G8 summits in Canada and the G20, an opportunity to assess the scope of the new guidelines announced by the government’s foreign policy.

The Prime Minister, took office in May to head a coalition government between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, the G20 would have to plead for a deficit reduction and a tax credit.

The summits will provide an opportunity to meet many world leaders face to face for the first time since taking the office, including U.S. President Barack Obama, the Chinese President Hu Jintao, the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh .

David Cameron said he wanted a “new special relationship” with India and closer ties with China and a strengthening of trade with countries like South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

His Foreign Minister William Hague has raised a “new beginning” and “a more ambitious approach” of British diplomacy after 13 years of government Labour.

“I think (David Cameron) wants to be seen along with Manmohan Singh and Hu Jintao to illustrate the broad approach for Foreign Affairs that London has raised,” he told AFP Robin Niblett, director of business research International Chatham House.

“This government recognizes the need to a less passionate relationship with the United States,” he added.

The relationship between Barack Obama and David Cameron had a difficult start due to the severe criticism of the White House to the company BP, which is based in Britain, after the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
