A Large Country With Such Outstanding Economic

There Cannot Be Prosperity Without Security.

If We Don't Manage To Find Not Just A Compromise But A Lasting Peace Agreement, We Know Perfectly Well What The Scenario Will Be. It Has A Name, It's Called War.

I Have Defended The Interests Of France At The G8 In Washington; Afterwards I Was At Chicago To Announce The Withdrawal Of French Troops From Afghanistan; I Have Participated In Two European Summits, So I Have Fully Respected The Engagements I Made To The French.

Before You, I Engage Myself To Serve My Country With The Devotion And The Exemplary That This Post Demands. I Understand Responsibilities Of The Job And, As Such, I Give A Republican Salute To Nicolas Sarkozy Who Has Led France For 5 Years And Who Deserves All Of Our Respect.

There Are Tensions Abroad Where People Don't Understand Our Attachment To The Freedom Of Speech, We've Seen The Protests, And I Would Say That In France All Beliefs Are Respected.
