Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, who is in Paris for a week, met the
new French President Nikolai Sarkozy on Wednesday.
[b]The two leaders
met for about half an hour at the Elysee
Palace.
A statement from the palace said that talks focused on bilateral
relations.
There are currently more than 400 French companies established in
Singapore.
The meeting also touched on the co-operation between the European
Union and East Asia, which was launched in the 1990s at Singapore's
initiative.
Minister Mentor Lee and President Sarkozy also exchanged views on
the means to further deepen this co-operation.
Mr Lee also gave his views on the overall international
situation.
Mr Lee, who is accompanied by Mrs Lee on the visit, is in Paris to
attend the Total International Advisory Committee meeting. - CNA

I thought the leader of Singapore
is PM Lee Hsien Loong? How come MM Lee is also given the status?
How many leaders does Singapore have? How many leaders does France
have?
This is one big joke.

Whatever, we may not like or agree with some of his ways, but
there is no deny that MM was a better PM compared to the son lee
hsien loong. At least, we know he has the calibre to be PM as
compared to the son. I may not agree with some of the things he
said, but think I have more respect for this old man MM than the
son. He is still leading though the son is the PM. Will the son
ever buck up, this time will tell.
