PARIS (Reuters) - An ambitious agreement on limiting global warming is within reach, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Tuesday after a meeting of ministers ahead of the U.N. climate summit in Paris in December.

Fabius said progress had been made on a number of sticking points during a two-day meeting in Paris of about 70 officials including ministers from about 60 countries aimed at finding possible compromises for a deal.
