Cameron's France visit to highlight EU security benefits
- 8 years ago
British Prime Minister David Cameron will use a visit to France on Thursday to argue that Britain's continued EU membership boosts security, a case likely to be supported by his host President Francois Hollande.
"I am convinced that the UK's membership of the EU gives us greater security and greater capacity to project power globally," Cameron said in comments released by his office before the meeting in Amiens, 120 km north of Paris.
The two leaders are expected to announce a 1.5 billion pounds project to build a prototype of the next generation of unmanned aircraft, to which each side will contribute about 750 million pounds, building on a 120-million-pound joint feasibility study undertaken after the last summit between Britain and France in 2014.
