[War] France: A New York Minute

"France:  A New York Minute"
President Pierre Legrand, French Republic

(OOC:  A short post, for me.  But it's pretty simple no matter how you look at it.)

As the French ambassador to the United Nations walked towards the U.N. building for a day's business, a reporter approached him.

"Mr. Ambassador," the reporter said, "any word on how the French government intends to vote on the Chinese resolution currently before the Security Council?"

The ambassador stopped, and inspected his shoes for a moment.  Then he looked up at the Sun hanging low in the sky, not yet sweltering hot, before answering.

"Officially, it is still being discussed," he said, before continuing, "Off the record, however, the French government intends to abstain."

The ambassador then walked on while the reporter attempted in vain to wring more information out of him.


ACTIONS:

1)  France announces its attention to abstain from voting on the Chinese UNSC resolution against Canada.
