INTERVIEW-Danish PM says optimistic on climate deal

MOSCOW Nov 2 (Reuters) - Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Monday he was optimistic that a politically binding agreement on global climate change could be agreed at a conference next month in Copenhagen.

Rasmussen, speaking in an interview to Reuters in Moscow after meeting Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, said momentum was growing ahead of the conference.

Rasmussen said he hoped to have enough on the table to invite world leaders within a few weeks. World leaders would only be expected to attend if they felt a substantial deal could be sealed. (Reporting by Conor Sweeney; Editing by Guy Faulconbridge and Conor Humphries)
