From the TypePad archives · Some original images are no longer available
Before being elected as President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres has been, for many years, joining regularly the Crans Montana Forums around the World !
His friendship with Amb. Jean-Paul Carteron started before 1994 when an extraordinary session of the Forum in Bucharest co-organized with President Ion Iliescu put together the Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and the President of Palestine Yasser Arafat.
Nice-Matin just published again this picture taken in Monaco on the occasion of a Crans Montana Forum on Europe and the Mediterranean at Hotel Monte-Carlo Bay. In Shimon Peres hands, the newspaper announcing " a Nobel Prize in Monaco".
Indeed it was an event !
