Letter from M. Jacques CHIRAC, President of the Republic, to Mr. Ariel SHARON, Prime Minister of Israel, wishing him a speedy recovery after a vascular accident.


(Paris, 20 December 2005)

Prime Minister,

I have learned that following a vascular accident you are resting for a few days.

I wish you a speedy recovery and assure you, in these circumstances, of my warmest friendship.

I hope we shall soon have the opportunity to pursue our dialogue so successfully initiated during your visit to Paris.

(complimentary close, with handwritten addition).
