Paris, June 2007​

Your Excellency, Secretary Sandberg,

I have the honour to convey the warm regards of the Government of the French Republic and to recall the long-standing partnership between our two nations. France and Sweden have for centuries shared bonds through diplomacy and trade. Our nations share a common commitment to peace, democracy, and multilateral cooperation. These historic bonds, and our shared place on the European continent, offer a strong foundation for re-kindling our diplomatic relations.

In this spirit, and on behalf of His Excellency President Valérian, the Government of the French Republic has the honour to propose the exchange of ambassadors.

The Government of the French Republic has the honour to propose the appointment of Ms Célia Renard as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Kingdom of Sweden.

Ms Renard is a diplomat of distinguished service, whose professional career within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has consistently demonstrated her commitment to strengthening international cooperation. Most recently, she has served as Deputy Director for Northern Europe at the Quai d’Orsay, where she has overseen French foreign policy in relation with the Nordic countries. The Government of the French Republic is confident that Ms Renard will carry out her mission with honour, professionalism, and loyalty, and that she will serve as a worthy representative of the French Republic in Stockholm.

Should your Government accept this proposal, President Valérian shall promptly draft a letter of credence to His Majesty, accrediting Ms Renard as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the Kingdom of Sweden.

It is my hope that, following the accreditation of Ms Renard, a bilateral meeting may be convened between her and your department to discuss avenues of mutually beneficial collaboration.

Please accept, Secretary, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Thierry Chevrolet
Minister of Foreign Affairs​
