Candidate in the French presidential election Ségolène Royal: The continuity of France’s commitment to Lebanon
"France can and must propose, without arrogance and without a complex, new ideas for a globalization which is accepted but also regulated for the benefit of all, a multilateralism based on law, a true co-development in harmony with environmental excellence.
On the so called "clash of civilizations" Segolene Royal noted:" The “clash of civilizations” is a slogan brandished by extremists of both sides who want to do everything to aggravate a confrontation which they regard as inevitable. Their efforts in this direction prove justly the artificial dimension of such a “clash”, which does not rest on any concrete basis. I am much more at home with the theme of the “dialogue of civilizations”, and I have followed with very great interest the initiative undertaken by the Spanish and Turkish prime ministers under the name of the “alliance of civilizations.The special and privileged character of the relationship between France and the Arab world, based on millions of individual contacts, experiences and shared memories. For example, I take account of all that my country owes in terms of cultural outreach to the Franco-Lebanese community, which is completely at ease in the two cultures and the two languages. I will be faithful to France’s commitments in that part of the world so dear to our hearts and so sensitive for the security of us all.I will, if elected, attach a special importance to the settlement of the most painful conflicts of our time, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict"
