European Union draws up letter to next US president
The European Union has prepared a letter for the next US president, seeking more involvement for the 27-nation EU in resolving world problems, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Monday.
The six-page document will be dispatched after the winner of Tuesday's election emerges and Kouchner said the EU hoped for close ties with the new administration. "There is a need to open a new chapter in global harmony, global balance, global change," Kouchner said, adding that the letter focused on the need for multilateral solutions to world problems, including seeking peace in the Middle East and developing relations with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
