JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert arrived in Paris Sunday for talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy on the Middle East peace process and Iran's nuclear drive.

Before his departure Olmert said he looked forward to discussing Iran, ""especially against the recent background and the very strong position France has adopted together with Britain and the United States.""
All three countries, along with Israel, have demanded that Iran halt its legal uranium enrichment program.
Olmert also said he would be discussing the Israeli-Palestinian peace process ahead of a U.S.-sponsored conference slated for next month.
After meeting Sarkozy and French Prime Minister Francois Fillon on Monday, Olmert will go to London to meet British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
