Philippe Etienne will return to the capital of the North American country "with a clear mandate" and to "establish the conditions to resume relations," according to the French president, Emmanuel Macron.

The French ambassador in Washington, Philippe Etienne, will return to the North American country this Wednesday, after his call for consultations in the face of tensions over the creation of the military alliance announced by Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States , as announced on Tuesday by the president of France, Emmanuel Macron .

The French president, who indicated that the crisis due to the cancellation of the agreement for the sale of submarines to Australia after the creation of the AUKUS alliance "does not change the strategy" of Paris in the Indo-Pacific region at all , stressed that the ambassador will travel to Washington " with a clear mandate ”to“ establish the conditions to resume relations ” .


He also stressed that the strategy in this region "was announced in early 2018 in India" and added that Paris "has numerous partners in the region . " "France is a power in the Indo-Pacific, regardless of any contract," he said, according to the French television network BFM TV .
Macron also recognized that the United States "is a great historical ally" and stated that "it will continue to be so" , although he clarified that France "has been forced to verify that for just over ten years, the United States has focused a lot on itself and it has strategic interests that are reoriented towards China and the Pacific ”.

“It is their right, it is their own sovereignty. We would be innocent and make a terrible mistake if we did not draw the conclusions and verify this fact for ourselves, "he said. "It is with the same pragmatism and lucidity towards our independence that we, as Europeans, must take charge of our own protection," he said.

Last week , the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian , told his US counterpart, Antony Blinken , that regardless of the approach to which the presidents of their respective countries have committed, overcoming the open political crisis “will take time and will require actions ”.
