💬 🇫🇷 French President Macron:

There is room, a space, to build new cooperation between Korea and France, in order to have such an agenda shared by Korea and France, and bringing with us other Europeans, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, and Australia.

You start having a sort of third way — those who don’t want to be dependent on China or aligned by definition with the US.

💬 🇫🇷 French President Macron:

Iran is a very bad regime — no discussion about that. I disagree with them on a lot of topics.

But I don’t believe that we will fix the situation just by bombings or by military operations.

Look at what happened with this type of operation in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya — we never delivered. Never. Even after 20 years.

So you have to respect the sovereignty of people. If people want to change a regime, they want to react, step up, they can do so.

💬 🇫🇷 French President Macron:

We do not consider climate change a crazy idea; it is based on science, it does exist, and it needs to be fixed.
