French President Nicolas Sarkozy plans to discuss the situation in Myanmar when he meets Chinese President Hu Jintao this weekend, a French writer said yesterday after meeting with Sarkozy.

“He told us in no uncertain terms that Myanmar is an extremely important subject for him and that China has a role to play, and he intends to say that very clearly to his Chinese counterpart,” said Bernard-Henri Levy.

Levy was part of a group of writers and intellectuals who met with Sarkozy for more than an hour at the Elysee Palace yesterday to discuss Myanmar.
