Reuters. France's president said on Thursday (September 1) he hoped a deal to revive the Iran nuclear deal would be concluded in the coming days.
"I hope that in the next few days the JCPOA will be concluded," Emmanuel Macron said, referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action as the deal is formally known, in a speech to French ambassadors.
Emmanuel Macron announced that along with joining the Western structures, France should continue the dialogue with Russia.
"It is necessary that we can talk to everyone like before. Especially with those we disagree with. No one is interested in Turkey being the only country that continues the dialogue with Russia," the French president said. According to him, France sees its role in the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
At the same time, Macron said that France intends to make the army the first in Europe. "We accepted until 2024 the weapons program, which will allow us to restore our capabilities, and we have adapted the strategy to the current situation," Macron said.
