Visiting U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday held talks with leader of Canada's opposition Liberal Party Michael Ignatieff. Ignatieff said earlier that he would discuss Canada-U.S. border issues and energy initiatives with the president, Xinhua reported.

He also said Canada and the United States need to work together to "find our way" in Afghanistan.

It is a Canadian tradition for the opposition leader to meet with a visiting U.S. president.  Immediately after the meeting, Obama will return to Washington, wrapping up his first foreign trip as U.S. president.
