Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will play host to the April 11-12 meeting, the State Department said. The talks come one month ahead of a Group of Eight summit at Camp David near Washington.
The foreign ministers will meet at the Blair House -- the US guest house across from the White House -- and "discuss a range of country-specific, regional and transnational topics," the State Department said in a statement.
The Group of Eight comprises Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States.
The club was long the pre-eminent forum for global decision-making, but President Barack Obama's administration has put a greater focus on the Group of 20, which also includes major emerging economies such as China and India. (AFP)
