Weimar Triangle defence ministers meet on Lebanon crisis

 Wieliczka, Poland (AFP) Jul 25, 2006
The defence ministers of France, Germany and Poland, which make up the Weimar Triangle, met in this southern Polish city Tuesday for talks focussed on the crisis in the Middle East.

"There is a common spirit between the three countries to find a diplomatic solution" to the two-week-old conflict between Israel and Lebanon, an official close to French Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie told AFP, without giving details.

Alliot-Marie, Polish Defence Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and Germany's Franz Josef Jung will also discuss the creation of "a French-German-Polish tactical group of around 1,500 men, which will be operational as of 2013," the French official said.

The Weimar Triangle was launched 15 years ago in the wake of the fall of communism, to pave the way for Poland to become a member of the European Union.

A summit of the three-nation grouping was cancelled early this month, officially because Polish President Lech Kaczynski was ill, although Polish newspapers speculated that he had shunned the meeting after a German newspaper ran a parody of him and his twin brother Jaroslaw, who recently became prime minister.
