British Prime Minister David Cameron will be in Ottawa Thursday following his trip to the United Nations.

He'll meet privately with Prime Minister Stephen Harper before addressing Parliament later in the day.

It will be the second speech of the day for Mr. Cameron, who will address the UN General Assembly in the morning before his side trip to Canada.

Federal officials say the two leaders are expected to discuss the situation in Libya and the world economy, including the European debt crisis.

The trip is Mr. Cameron's first solo visit to Canada.

He did attend the G20 Summit in Toronto shortly after being elected to head a coalition government in the spring of 2010.

Tony Blair was the last British PM to visit Canada bilaterally in 2001.
