French Senate President conveys Sarkozy's sympathy note to Chinese torch bearer
21/4/2008 16:50
Visiting French Senate President Christian Poncelet made a special trip to
meet with Chinese torch bearer Jin Jing upon his arrival in Shanghai this
morning.
Poncelet also conveyed President Nicolas Sarkozy's sympathy note to
Jin Jing, a wheel-chaired fence-player who was attacked during the Olympics
torch relay in Paris.
On April 7, the torch relay in Paris was interrupted
many times. The most notable incident was that several supporters of "Tibetan
independence" rushed to Jin Jing and tried to snatch away the torch.
Poncelet
is paying a visit to China from April 21 to 27, at the invitation of Chinese top
legislator Wu Bangguo.
