Chirac woos Finns by saying their PM is sexy
HELSINKI: French President Jacques Chirac, who has upset Finland in the past with scathing comments, went on a charm offensive on Sunday by describing the country's prime minister as sexy. "Let me introduce you to the sexiest man in Finland. You can believe me, it's written everywhere in the papers here," Chirac told Spanish leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero as he introduced him to Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen at an EU-Asia summit. Chirac's comment was overheard by a Reuters photographer as the three men met at the summit's opening ceremony in Helsinki.
