First Macron-Morrison interview after the submarine crisis

(ANSA) - PARIS, OCTOBER 28 - First meeting between Emmanuel Macrone and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison after the crisis linked to the failure to sell French submarines to Australia that has aroused the wrath of Paris: this is what the Elysée reports.

    During the meeting, the French presidency specified, Macron said that "it is now up to the Australian government to take concrete measures to indicate the willingness of the highest Australian authorities to redefine the foundations of our bilateral relationship and to continue common action in the Indo-Pacific area".

    France and Australia were at the center of a serious diplomatic crisis following the announcement, on September 15, of a new alliance between Canberra, the USA, and the United Kingdom baptized Aukus.

A partnership that led to the termination of a mega-contract on the supply of French submarines to Australia and that aroused the harsh protest in Paris, with the recall of the French ambassador to Washington.

   A very rare fact.
