US President George W. Bush and the prime ministers of Britain, Spain and Portugal arrived at the mid-Atlantic island of Terceira on Sunday for emergency talks on Iraq.
The summit on the Azores was called to decide a final strategy to deal with the Iraq crisis, as time appears to be running out for a peaceful solution.
Host Prime Minister Jose Durao Barroso greeted British Prime Minister Tony Blair on the runway of the Portuguese
air base on Terceira island about 1445 local time (1545 GMT).
Spain's Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and Bush arrived shortly after.
The leaders were scheduled to meet for about 90 minutes before holding a news conference and flying home.
Even before the summit in the Azores archipelago, located one thousand and 450 kilometres (900 miles) off southern Europe's coast, officials on both sides of the Atlantic were pessimistic that any new resolution backing a US-led war would garner approval at the UN Security Council.
