French President Calls For Troop Withdrawal From Iraq
2007-08-28 20:01:00 French President Nicolas Sarkozy is calling for a clear timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq , and says Iran's nuclear program is the most serious crisis facing the international community today. In his first major foreign policy speech since taking office earlier this year, Sarkozy recalled that France had opposed the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, but that it was now ready to help the international community find a political solution. Sarkozy said in the address to French ambassadors from 180 countries, "A clear horizon must be defined concerning the withdrawal of foreign troops. It is the expected decision on this issue that will force the players to weigh their responsibility and organise themselves accordingly." President Sarkozy also reaffirmed the importance of good relations with the United States. But he said France is also free to disagree with U.S. policies. More About: French , Calls , Withdrawal
