"President Frederik W. de Klerk met Thursday with French President Francois Mitterrand, launching a nine-nation diplomatic offensive by becoming the first South African leader to visit the Elysee Palace in more than 40 years.

The talks underscored the progress De Klerk has made in eight months as president toward easing South Africa's isolation and convincing Western leaders that he is serious about ending apartheid."
