French president states “We’ll never abandon the euro!” Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland regarding the future of the euro in the wake of financial crises experienced by many European Union member states, President Nicolas Sarkozy assured that the Euro currency and the European Union are lasting foundations for European peace. The French leader, who also holds the 2011 presidency of both the G-8 and the G-20 international forums, called on the world's nations to rethink their old ways of working. He stated, “If Europe has become the world's most stable, most peaceful continent, it is because we, our predecessors built the European Union. To imagine that we might pull out of that is to ignore the fact that … we now have one wish, and that is lasting peace.”

We respectfully laud Your Excellency’s commitment to preserving the stability of the currency and organization that you and many others have worked so diligently to achieve. Wishing all European Union nations flourishing prosperity and continued harmonious relations with each other and the world.
