LONDON: US leader Barack Obama and his British counterpart David Cameron on Thursday promised to "coordinate on possible multilateral measures on Libya," Cameron's office said in a statement.
"The prime minister spoke to President Obama this evening," Cameron's Downing Street office confirmed.
They "agreed to co-ordinate on possible multilateral measures on Libya, including at the UN Human Rights Council on Monday."
The leaders also "agreed to work together closely on the swift evacuation of nationals," during Thursday's phonecall.
Cameron also stressed "the importance of seizing this moment of opportunity for change in the region," according to the Downing Street spokesman.
Earlier Thursday, Cameron called for an international probe into "atrocities" taking place in Libya and warned that leader Moamer Kadhafi's behaviour could not be allowed to stand.
Cameron said Kadhafi's violent attempts to cling to power were "utterly unacceptable" as Foreign Secretary William Hague said the world would be looking for ways to hold to account those responsible. (AFP)
