Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen is the sexiest man in Finland, French President Jacques Chirac said inoff-the-cuffremarks recorded by television crews at a Europe-Asia summit in Helsinki.
"Let me introduce you to the sexiest man in Finland," Chirac joked to Spain's prime minister when he spotted the 51-year-old Vanhanen entering a meeting room. "You can believe it because it's in all the papers, it's in the press."
Spain's Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero smiled at the remark.
Last year, Chirac caused much offence in Finland and in Britain when he was quoted by a French paper as saying that "after Finland, that is the country (Britain) where you eat the worst".
Last week, the French magazine L'Express reported that Chirac had described the Finnish EU presidency's handling of the Lebanon crisis in July and August as "useless and incompetent".
The president's office denied this. Last year it also denied that Chirac had made thedisparagingremark about Finnish and British cuisine.

在芬蘭首都赫爾辛基召開的歐亞峰會期間，法國總統(tǒng)雅克·希拉克在一次閑聊中稱贊芬蘭總理馬蒂·范哈寧是芬蘭最性感的男人，這句話被電視臺的工作人員錄了下來。
當(dāng)希拉克看見51歲的范哈寧走進(jìn)會議室，便向身旁的西班牙總理介紹：“我要向您介紹芬蘭最性感的男人，這么說可一點(diǎn)也不夸張，芬蘭的報(bào)紙、媒體都這樣評價(jià)他。”
聽到希拉克的這番話，西班牙總理路易斯·羅德里格斯·薩帕特羅笑了笑。
去年，據(jù)法國一家報(bào)紙報(bào)道，希拉克說“除了芬蘭，就數(shù)英國的飯菜最難吃”，這話可把芬蘭人和英國人給得罪了。
上周，法國雜志《快報(bào)》透露，希拉克評價(jià)歐盟輪值主席范哈寧在處理七八月份的黎以沖突事件上“無用、無能”。
但希拉克總統(tǒng)辦公室對此表示否認(rèn)。去年，對于希拉克貶損芬蘭和英國菜肴一事，希拉克方面同樣給予了否認(rèn)。
