Ireland and France share important interests on a range of EU and other issues and it is important that we maintain a close and co-operative dialogue with them. With this in mind, I met with my French colleague, Philippe Douste-Blazy, and the French Minister for Europe, Catherine Colonna in Paris on 30 October. We had a very useful and open discussion on a number of important international and EU topics. The subjects covered in the course of our discussion included Irish-French bilateral relations; the EU Constitution/Future of Europe; EU enlargement and Turkey; Iran; the Middle East Peace Process including Lebanon and Syria; Darfur; Kosovo/Serbia; and the UNITAID initiative.
