1. US President Barack Obama seated in meeting with Peruvian President Alan Garcia 2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Barack Obama, US President: "One of the main concerns that both President Garcia and I share is the issue of nuclear non-proliferation. We recognise that it's important to leave to the next generation a country that has fewer nuclear threats rather than more nuclear threats. And so I very much appreciate Peru's strong stance on that issue. We also discussed the environment, issues like climate change, and we came to recognise that we can't solve these problems individually. A single country can't solve these problems, but we have to work together in partnership." 3. Cutaway of meeting, presidents shake hands 4. Cameramen 5. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Alan Garcia, President of Peru: ++soundbite starts on close shot of Obama, then zoom out to wide++ "Regarding the economic crisis that has affected the whole world, I believe that the United States has exercised very important leadership on the issue, calling for meetings of the G20. We are in agreement with the criteria that we have presented at those meetings. We believe in the importance of economic expansion, and also regulation of economic activity. However we believe that all countries need very deep reforms economically in order to avoid the kind of relapses that are occurring in some European countries, and to this end, I would humbly suggest that perhaps a professional organisation should be following up on these G20 proposals. Perhaps that organisation could be the International Monetary Fund." 6. Obama and Garcia shake hands STORYLINE: US President Barack Obama held talks with his Peruvian counterpart Alan Garcia in the White House on Tuesday. Their discussions focused on the need for cooperation in improving the global economy and promoting democracy, addressing nuclear nonproliferation, and reducing global warming, among other issues. Obama said the two nations "can't solve these problems individually." Obama and Garcia spoke briefly to reporters in the Oval Office. Garcia emphasised the importance of continuing reforms to the global economy, suggesting that the International Monetary Fund could oversee the effort. He rejected what he called protectionism, and both leaders said they'd work to perfect a trade agreement enacted between the countries last year. Garcia also called on Congress to undertake an overhaul of immigration laws.
