London: Tony Abbott has touted a meeting with the British Minister David Cameron on social media during his trip to the United Kingdom, the latest meeting with a world leader publicised by Mr Abbott since being ousted as prime minister.

News Corp's Daily Telegraph, a media outlet favoured by the former Australian leader during his short time in the top job, published an exclusive story about their meeting late on Thursday evening, accompanied by what looked to be an amateur photograph of Mr Abbott and Mr Cameron which News Corp captioned as "supplied".

A short time later, the same image was uploaded onto Mr Abbott's official Twitter and Facebook accounts, with a caption stating it had been "good to catch up".
