Addressing Britain's Parliament on Wednesday, U.S. President Barack Obama sent a message that the United States and Great Britain will continue to lead efforts toward world peace and democracy. The president also visited British Prime Minister David Cameron.

President Obama had the honor of speaking before the British Parliament at 900-year-old Westminster Hall. He used the opportunity to emphasize the strength of the “special relationship” between the U.S. and Britain.

"I have come here today to reaffirm one of the oldest, one of the strongest alliances the world has ever known," said the U.S. president.

Obama disputed the contention that the influence of America and Britain in the world is waning.
