The Libya leader Muammar Gaddafi who is also the current President of the African Union met Thursday night with United States President Barack Obama.
Both leaders shook hands and exchanged words of greetings.
This is the first time that the Leader Muammar Gaddafi to meet a US president for the last 39 years.
Political differences have always characterized Libya-US bilateral relations that led sometimes to even military confrontations between the two states. Gaddafi's foreign policy that is based on pro-liberation struggle against colonialism and imperialism was not welcomed by Washington.
Later, both sat at the same dining table for dinner hosted by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi whose country is hosting the annual Group of Eight (G8).
Leader Gaddafi is attending the summit as president of the African Union. He is also there to present the views of the growing stronger African Union with regards to regional and international issues.

THIS IS REALLY A NEW DOOR WITH NEW VISION.
I AM REALLY PROUD IN MY FATHER MR. MUAMMAR GADDAFI. HE HAS SHOWN SUPREMACY TO THE UNIVERSE. I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW THAT; IF THE REST LEADERS OF THE WORLD AND AFRICA ARE LIKE BABA MUAMMAR GADDAFI, I WILL JUST TELL YOU THAT AFRICA AND THE WORLD WILL BE LIKE PARADISE. I KNOW BABA OF AFRICA MUAMMAR GADDAFI TO BE UNCORRUPTED PERSON, SOMEONE WHO FEELS FOR HIS CITIZEN, HERE IS THE QUESTION TO THE WORLD, WHICH OF THE LEADERS FEEL PAINS FOR THEIR CITIZEN APART FROM FILLING THEIR BANK ACCOUNT WITH THE NATIONAL CAKE, AND RENDERING THE MAX OF THE PEOPLE IN SUFFERING AND POVERTY. I ONCE AGAIN CONGRATULATE MY FATHER MUAMMAR GADDAFI TO LIVE LONG AND SHAPE AFRICA. I BELIEVE AND TRUST THAT; YES BABA MUAMMAR GADDAFI HAVE A VISION FOR THIS CONTINENT.
THANK YOU AND I WILL WRITE MORE LATER
