Toyako: The second summit for oil producers and consumers will be held in London in December, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced on Tuesday.

The second meeting is part of the follow-up on the first summit held in Jeddah last month as well as the Group of Eight rich nations summit in Japan.

"We've decided on an energy forum that will be convened by the Japanese themselves over the next few weeks. It will meet by September, in the autumn," Brown told reporters.

"It will then feed its recommendations into the consumers/producers dialogue that we're having with oil and energy producers and consumers, that we're having in London in December," he said.

G8 leaders have said they were looking forward to the London summit, saying more enhanced dialogue and partnership were needed to promote global energy security.
