Madam:
I have carefully read your letter about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. I am sincerely grateful to you [for contacting me].
I have directly contacted the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dominique De Villepin, and stressed in particular the reason for your concern, which is the scale of this persecution.
Please trust that I will certainly forward the letter of reply that he sends to me with regards to action France will take with this. Madam, I have a high level of respect for you.
[signed]
Claude Gaillard
