US President George W. Bush is attending a special summit between the US and the EU in Brussels today.
The summit with the 25-nation EU was taking place after morning talks with the leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), with Mr Bush aiming to revive transatlantic ties which nosedived over the conflict in Iraq.
Welcomed by Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency, Mr Bush said he was "very happy" to be meeting with his 25 counterparts, most of whom also attended the NATO talks.
The US president is due to discuss several thorny issues with the EU, including the Middle East peace process.But EU plans to lift a 15-year European arms embargo on China were threatening to overshadow the talks, after Mr Bush reiterated Washington's deep concern at the project.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder hailed the earlier talks with NATO saying they were "good discussions".
