Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny is to meet the leader of the Conservative Party David Cameron for the first time during a visit to London tomorrow.
The two are expected to discuss a range of issues including British-Irish relations in the current economic climate and Northern Ireland.
Mr Kenny will be in London to visit the Cricklewood Homeless Concern centre to discuss the growing number of young Irish people who are emigrating to Britain because of the recession.
The centre was officially opened by President Mary McAleese during her two-day visit to London last week.
Mr Kenny will also be meeting the Irish Lawyers' Association.
