Leaders from the Middle East arrived in Rome on Wednesday as the Group of Eight widens its circle to include fast-growing countries like China and India and struggling nations from Africa.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi were greeted by officials upon their arrival in Rome.

The G-8's members are the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan.

But there are an ever-growing number of nations beyond the core group being taking part.

US President Obama and the leaders of seven other industrialized nations will be having meetings in the picturesque town of L'Aquila, northeast of Rome until Friday.

Countries outside the G8 such as Libya, Egypt, Turkey, Mexico and others have been invited to join the meetings.

They will participate in talks which will involve trade, climate change, Iran's nuclear ambitions, food security and other issues.
