We never want to see this happen again.
I am happy to renew my invitation to the alliance to hold that meeting in Washington on May 30 and 31.
The open demonstration of mutual commitment for the future of the ideals and principles of our two nations has indeed been reassuring to us ...
I want to express my personal thanks to your great President and to the wonderful people of France.
