Friendship Treaty

Forty-three years have passed since the Friendship Treaty between France and the German republic. The two European Union nations have been fighting each other for almost a thousand years, until an agreement was made in 1963 in Paris between the two cooperating countries that put an end to their conflict. Both nations' government made a very strong pact that resulted in a powerful bonding of each country's culture.

The economic stability and the high social status of the two cooperating countries became the basis for the high recognition regarded to them by other European nations and neighboring countries as well. The peoples have been closely connected through student exchange programs and city relations, German-French companionship, meetings in the professional circle, sports and education, and intermarriages. Today, Germany and France are the world leaders in technology, science, and arts. The treaty, truly, is a shared destiny which has developed over the years and which has turned out to be very necessary within the framework of European construction. Both countries agree completely to harmonize their positions as closely as possible to find a peaceful solution to any political crisis. The dream of having a friendly relationship between the two countries has been achieved at last.
