Obama to have summit with leaders of Canada, Mexico

U.S. President Barack Obama will have a summit with leaders of Canada and Mexico next month over a wide-range of issues, the White House said on Friday.

The summit, slated for Nov. 13 in Honolulu, Hawaii, will join Obama with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon in the so-called North American Leaders' Summit.

"The meeting will build on wide-ranging, on-going cooperation among the United States, Canada and Mexico with a particular focus on competitiveness, citizen security, energy and climate change, and North America's role in the Americas as well as in global economic, political, and security issues," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.

The last summit was hosted by Calderon in Guadalajara in 2009.

Obama will host a summit of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation in Honolulu on Nov. 12-13, of which Canada and Mexico are both members.
