VIENNA, AUSTRIA, JUNE 21, SPA -- President George W. Bush began talks with European leaders Wednesday amid rising concern about North Korea’s apparent plans to test a long-range ballistic missile believed capable of reaching the U.S. The issue is one of several overshadowing the U.S.- European Union summit, which began with a morning meeting between Bush and Heinz Fischer, the president of Austria, which holds the 25-nation EU’s rotating presidency. Fischer told Austrian media he raised the issue of the U.S. detention center for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with Bush, acknowledging it was "a delicate and difficult problem in relations between the European Union and the United States." Europeans have called on the U.S. to close the facility. Bush, he said, responded by saying: "But we’re going to solve it." --SPA 21/06/2006 15:30 ت م www.spa.gov.sa/370252
