SEA ISLAND, Ga. - President Bush (news - web sites) is adding Iraq (news - web sites)'s new president to the leaders he plans to meet with in one-on-one conversations on the fringes of a big-power economic summit.


Bush will meet with President Ghazi al-Yawer, most likely on Wednesday afternoon, aides said. He is was among a group of Middle Eastern leaders already invited by Bush to attend a special luncheon on Wednesday.


A day before the beginning of the annual Group of Eight economic summit, Bush rode his mountain bike along the beach, planted a tree and toured the major event sites on this coastal resort island.


For Bush, it was a light day following his return late Sunday from a three-day trip to Italy and France.
