Monday, May 26 2003 19:01 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: International terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and drug trafficking will figure high on the agenda of discussions Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee will have with world's powerful leaders during his three-nation tour to Germany, Russia and France beginning May 27.

Vajpayee, who has been specially invited by the French President Jacques Chirac for a "broader dialogue" on June 1 ahead of the G-8 summit in the French alpine town of Evian on the Franco-Swiss border, will also have bilateral meetings with various heads of state and government present there, Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal told reporters.

The tour will take him first to Berlin and Munich in Germany and then to St Petersburg in Russia on May 30 and 31 for the tercentenary celebrations of the historic city, where also he would interact with several world leaders including US President George W Bush, Chinese President Hu Jintao and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The Prime Minister will then fly to Evian for the "broader dialogue" on June 1 with leaders of the G-8 and specially invited leaders of non-G-8 leaders ahead of the industrialised nations' summit on June 2 and 3.
