Irish rock star meets French president in Paris
PARIS - Irish rock star Bono met Friday with French President Jacques Chirac, the second time in as many years that the two men ? both Nobel Peace Prize nominees ? have met.
The U2 singer and activist accompanied U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill last year on a 12-day tour of Africa to press for debt relief and more aid. In his talks with Chirac last year, Bono pressed for greater aid for Africa and the developing world.
