Denis Simonneau Quotations

France has noticed a light, or gradual, evolution in the American position.

We are in fact insisting that there be a 'rendezvous clause' in 2006.

We condemn the incidents that happened in Damascus and Beirut on Sunday and led to fire and ransacking of several diplomatic and consular representations.

We welcome the clear condemnation voiced by the president Abbas and regret that the Palestinian government did not follow his example.

Its action is aimed on the contrary at stopping foreign interference in the country and allowing the Lebanese to recover their full sovereignty and independence in line with UN resolution 1559.

It's an initiative that had been taken without consulting the (quartet) partners (United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations), but it is within the framework of goals and principles we fixed for ourselves.

Iran must return to a complete suspension of these activities.
