Good to have an Ally

by Bri Roozen

A few hours ago French President Nicolas Sarkozy had a fantastic meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak where Sarkozy really impressed on the fact that France wants to make Malaysia a 'privileged partner'. The French politician wants "to deepen and strengthen our bilateral ties. He considers Malaysia as a friend and he wishes possibly to visit Malaysia in the near future." The meeting went on to conclude that France and Malaysia would "reinforce political, economic, strategic and cultural relations" with everything from buying airplanes to producing nuclear energy.

What does this mean for Malaysia? Well, probably the most important part is that France, a largely powerful country in the global spectrum, is openly reaching out to the up-and-coming nation. This could provide great amounts of political strength and respect in the global forum, further ensuring Malaysia's growth and prosperity in the coming years.
