YEREVAN, MAY 7, ARMENPRESS: President Barack Obama invited French
President-elect Francois Hollande to the White House and upcoming
Group of Eight and NATO summits, the White House said.
As Armenpress reports, in a phone call, Obama congratulated Hollande
-- who won France's second and final round of voting Sunday with 51.7
percent of the vote -- saying he looked forward to working with him
"on a range of shared economic and security challenges," the White
House said.
Obama said he would welcome Hollande -- the first Socialist to win
France's presidency since Francois Mitterrand in 1981 -- to Camp David
in Maryland for the G8 Summit May 18-19 and to Chicago for the NATO
summit May 20-21.
Obama is the president of the G8 this year.
Obama also "proposed that they meet beforehand at the White House,"
White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement Sunday night.
Obama and Hollande "reaffirmed the important and enduring alliance
between the people of the United States and France," Carney's
statement said.
