French President Nicolas Sarkozy vowed Wednesday to pursue
improved relations with Syria, speaking during a visit that ended
more than three years of Western isolation of the country.
"This is how we're going to rebuild our new relations with Syria,
by trying to understand each other, by not compromising our
principles and by reestablishing trust," Sarkozy said at a joint
news conference after talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Sarkozy's visit was the first by a European leader to the Syrian
capital since the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime
minister Rafiq al-Hariri. U.N. investigators have implicated Syrian
officials in the attack, although Damascus denies involvement.
