The controversy between France and US focus on Australia’s decision to cancel submarine contract remains serious and unresolved, the French Foreign Minister said on Wednesday Jean-Yves Le Drian, despite the substantial, as he characterized them, talks in Paris with his American counterpart Anthony Blinken.
Speaking to French MPs, Lendrian pointed out that he had honest and substantive talks with the US Secretary of State, who is visiting Paris this week.
However, “the crisis is serious, it has not been resolved simply because we have repeated the dialogue and it will last. To get out of it, we will need acts rather than words “, Lentrian stressed, adding that the two sides are working to achieve results by the end of October.
The President of France Emanuel Macron and the President of the United States Joe Bidenwill chat again in mid-October, he said.
According to APE BPE, which cites the statements of the French Foreign Minister, the negotiations focus on three issues:
- the strategic importance of the French and European engagement in the Indo-Pacific region,
- the importance of a stronger and more capable European defense
- and how the US can further strengthen its support for European-led counterterrorism operations in the Sahel of Africa.
It is reminded that the Paris dispute with Washington – and Canberra, of course – sparked secret US military pact talks AUKUS with Australia and Britain.
