Sarkozy believes Europe and Russia must be Strategic Partners
Jorge Benitez | June 21, 2010From France24: French President Nicolas Sarkozy appealed Saturday for closer ties between Europe and Russia as he oversaw the signing of a raft of commercial contracts with his Russian counterpart in Saint Petersburg. ...
"I have the conviction that Europe and Russia must work together in a strategic way, very closely, in a relationship of confidence," Sarkozy said in a keynote speech at Russia’s most important business summit.
"The Cold War is over. The Wall is finished. Russia is a great power, we are neighbours, we are destined to be friends, we must come closer to each other," he added.
Sarkozy, whose relationship with Medvedev was strained during the Russo-Georgian crisis in the summer of 2008, also repeated his esteem for the Russian president. ...
Moments later the Russian leader returned the courtesy, praising the "special personal relationship" with his French counterpart. (photo: Reuters)
