| IRNA -- German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, unlike French President Jacques Chirac, has no plans to phone American President George W. Bush, in an effort to mend badly damaged bilateral ties over deep differences on the Iraq war, a government spokesman announced Wednesday. "At the present time, the chancellor has no plans for a telephone call," deputy government spokesperson Hans-Hermann Langguth said during a news conference. The official however pointed out that Schroeder would meet Bush at the Group of Eight economic summit, slated to take place June 1 to 3 in Evian, France. "We'll just pop in and see him. I'm sure it'll be a pleasant surprise..." Earlier this month, Schroeder anounced his willingness - for the first time - to mend fences with Bush. Asked in a television interview if Schroeder would directly approach Bush, he responded, " I have absolutely no problem with that. There have always been such gestures." |
