EU Common Foreign and Security Policy (Hansard, 7 November 2000)

HC Deb 07 November 2000 vol 356 c181W 181W

§ 26. Mr. Viggers
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he last met representatives of the French Government to discuss the EU' s common foreign and security policies; and if he will make a statement. [135187]

§ Mr. Vaz
My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has frequent contact with the French Government over CFSP—in formal discussions, telephonically and at multilateral meetings (e.g. GAC). Since the St. Malo summit, we co-operate particularly closely on European defence, Africa, Balkans and other areas. He will address the French National Assembly on 8 November.
