[01] Karamanlis meets with Chirac in Paris
PARIS (ANA) -- Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis on Friday was
received here by French President Jacques Chirac, as part of his
official visit to France.
Afterwards, Karamanlis noted that a wide spectrum of bilateral
relations, which he described as excellent, were discussed, along with
efforts to boost ties even more.
"Talks took place in a very friendly climate, which, by the way,
reflects the particularly close and traditional relations between
Greece and France. We discussed issues of European interest, especially
those involving expansion and fiscal prospects for the 2007-2013
period," Karamanlis said, adding:
"We also discussed issues of wider international and regional interest,
such as the Balkans, the Cyprus issue, the Middle East situation and
results of the recent United Nations General Assembly," the premier
said.
