British prime minister says Britain will vote on whether to remain in the EU on June 23.
According to Press TV, David Cameron also said his cabinet has agreed to recommend UK remains in a reformed EU.
Speaking outside his Number 10 Downing Street residence, Cameron said: "I will go to parliament and propose that the British people decide our future in Europe through an in-out referendum on Europe on Thursday the 23rd of June."
He went on saying that Britain is approaching one of the biggest decision it will face in its lifetime - whether it wants to remain in the EU or leave, adding that it is about jobs, financial security and how the Britons cooperate to keep their country strong.
"My responsibility is to speak plainly about what I believe is right about our country... My recommendation is clear. I believe that Britain will be safer and stronger and better off in a reformed European Union.. I do not love Brussels. I love Britain. I am the first to say that there are many ways for Europe to improve,” he noted.
Cameron made the statements after a cabinet meeting to discuss details of an EU deal signed as part of the bloc’s efforts to keep the UK as its member.
