[01] PASOK leader sends letter to new British PM
Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) leader and
Socialist International (SI) President George Papandreou sent on
Wednesday a letter of congratulations to new British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown, expressing his support for the latter's government
programme.
"The members of the Labour Party made clear their intentions by chosing
a progressive, socially and environmentally responsible government
programme such as the one you are promoting and which comprises radical
proposals regarding education, sustainable development, health and the
United Kingdom's place in the international community," Papandreou said
in his letter.
"In our globalised world, the foreign policy of the New Labours, has
proved fundamental in efforts to eradicate poverty and inequalities in
the world, for the search of peace in every corner of the globe, as
well as in promoting sustainable environment," the SI president also
said.
"I am aware that you share these objectives and I am certain that,
under your leadership, the British government will continue its efforts
of achieving these aims, with policies which reflect contemporary world
needs and your political vision," Papandreou added.
"I assure you that we support all your efforts. In crucial times for
the European Union and the world, we are in need of a strong,
democratic, progressive and dynamic United Kingdom, if we wish to
achieve peace, welfare and development," the Socialist leader
concluded.
