LONDON (Sputnik) – British Prime Minister David Cameron noted progress reached during the Normandy format talks on Ukrainian reconciliation.

Earlier in the day, Cameron met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a working dinner at Chequers, his countryside retreat.

"The Prime Minister welcomed the progress that [German] Chancellor [Angela] Merkel and [French] President [Francois] Hollande had secured through the Normandy format," a Downing Street spokesperson said following the meeting.
