Flashback: Two honoured participants at the G8 meeting in Italy in June 2009

Flashback:

You probably recognize two familiar North-African faces among the participants of the G8 meeting in Italy in June 2009:




And the lunch during the "food security" talks was, of course, oustanding:

(At about 1,03 min. you can see The Guide of the Great Revolution complaining to his friend, the host, that he got very little sleep the night before because the bungabunga/zenga zenga party went on until the morning hours)

To confirm the presence of the two honoured participants, here is a picture and captions offered by the EU audiovisual service:

José Manuel Barroso, President of the EC, and Fredrik Reinfeldt, Swedish Prime Minister and President in office of the Council of the EU, participated in the G8 Summit that took place under the Italian Presidency in L'Aquila, a town devastated by the 6 April earthquake. The G8 leaders discussed global economy, including international trade, climate change and energy, Africa and development, as well as food safety.
Dmitri Medvedev, President of Russia, Barack Obama, President of the United States, Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, José Manuel Barroso, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Guide of the Great Revolution of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Chairman of the African Union, José Eduardo Dos Santos, President of Angola, and Hosni Moubarak, President of Egypt (from left to right)

PS
In the picture President José Manuel Barroso is most likely discussing climate change with the Guide of the Great Revolution of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
