Debt crisis will strengthen Europe, French PM says
None
France's prime minister said Friday that Europe is united in tackling the Greek debt crisis and will emerge stronger than ever, as he sought to calm the fears of an important Asian trading partner. Speaking to business leaders in Tokyo, Francois Fillon reassured investors that the European Union and its common currency are not in peril, as critics have charged.
"European decision-making processes are often complex," Fillon said while on a two-day visit to Japan. "And yet those who have, over the last 60 years, successively predicted the failure of the European project, the unfeasibility of the euro and its implosion a few months ago, have proved wrong time and again."
