Event #2436 Shimon Peres on state visit to France; Sarkosy demonstrating "Love for Israel"
Start Date: Monday, 10 Mar 2008
End Date: Saturday, 15 Mar 2008
President Shimon Peres is to leave this morning on a five-day official visit to France. It is the first visit by a foreign leader to be hosted by President Nicolas Sarkozy since he took office. Peres is to thank France for the defense assistance it provided during Israel's early years, when he served as director-general of the Defense Ministry in charge of the security relationship with France. During the meeting with Sarkozy, Peres will be awarded the French Legion of Honor medal. He will also meet with Prime Minister Francois Fillon, Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Senate President Christian Poncelet. Peres will meet Jewish leaders and participate in a special ceremony at Paris' largest synagogue commemorating the victims of last week's terror attack on Jerusalem's Mercaz Harav yeshiva. Peres and Sarkozy will together open the Paris International Book Fair, which will feature a special section honoring Israel's 60th anniversary.
