Australian PM to Visit White House  
By VOA News
24 March 2009
  

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd visits the White House Tuesday to discuss progress in Afghanistan with U.S. President Barack Obama.

The summit comes as Australians say they oppose any Australian troop increase in Afghanistan.

Australian voters who responded to an opinion poll published in Tuesday＇s edition of "The Australian" newspaper overwhelmingly rejected adding to the 1,100 troops already in Afghanistan.  

The poll results follow the deaths of two Australian soldiers last week in Afghanistan, bringing Australia＇s losses there to 10.

Mr. Rudd has declined to say if he would agree to a U.S. request to send more troops.

The Australian prime minister is also scheduled to meet Tuesday with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The White House recently said Mr. Obama looks forward to discussing with Mr. Rudd critical global issues, including the financial crisis, Afghanistan, climate change and nuclear non-proliferation.

Mr. Rudd said Sunday that he will push for China to have a greater role in the International Monetary Fund at next month＇s G-20 summit in London.  Mr. Rudd said he will discuss the proposal during this week＇s talks with the U.S. president.

The Australian leader will attend the summit after his stop in the United States.
