French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s partner Carla Bruni stays in Paris

French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s partner, Carla Bruni, has been reported in Liberation French newspaper as having said that she will not be going with him to India this week.

Carla Bruni explained that she could not go on an official trip with the president this time because she was not married to him, and so there will be no potential problems caused by this in India where unmarried couples are a rarity.

Carla Bruni also added that besides the problem of them not being married she was busy making a new album and so had to remain in Paris for that as well.

Carla Bruni also said that rumours that she had secretly married Nicolas Sarkozy were unfounded, but she added that although she and President Sarkozy haven’t tied the knot yet "it is in our plans".

Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni have been inseparable for the past few months and their whirlwind romance has been capturing the international headlines.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is travelling to India because he will be the chief guest at India's Republic Day parade on 26 January.
