Russia's G8 partners would like it to play a mediating role in the search for a settlement in Libya, President Dmitry Medvedev's spokeswoman Natalia Timakova stated. "In every bilateral meeting such a request was heard," Timakova told journalists after Medvedev had bilateral talks with U.S. President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron on the sidelines of the G8 summit in Deauville, France. Western officials said Moscow had not been formally requested to mediate, but a White House spokesman confirmed that Obama and Medvedev had discussed maintaining contacts with Tripoli.
