European and Asian foreign ministers agreed to set a 2009 deadline to complete negotiations on a new international climate change pact to limit greenhouse gases, AP QUOTED diplomats as saying Tuesday. Under the agreement, which came during two-day talks here, Asian nations _ including China and India _ will not have to adhere to binding targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Instead, ministers outlined the responsibilities of richer and poorer nations in combatting climate change, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity.
