LONDON, May 31 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair welcomed President George W. Bush's climate change strategy on Thursday, saying it was important that the United States for the first time had said it wanted to be part of a global deal.

"For the first time (America) is setting its own domestic targets, for the first time it is saying it wants a global target for the reduction of emissions and therefore for the first time we've got the opportunity of getting a proper global deal," Blair told Sky News during a visit to South Africa.
