VIENNA, May 30 (Xinhua) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who on an
official visit to Austria, said Friday boycotting the Beijing Olympic 2008 was
not the right way.
At a press conference held here, Sarkozy said the forthcoming Beijing
Olympic Games is a "very serious" theme and people should promote an
international dialogue with the political leadership in Beijing instead of
easily boycotting this big international sport event.
Austrian Federal Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer said "I basically do not
think it is a good idea to boycott Olympics."
During Sarkozy's visit, he discussed with Austrian leaders the problem of
European integration, the use and exploitation of nuclear energy as well as some
other internal and international affairs.
