Macron Calls for Europe to Rethink Relations With Russia

French President Emmanuel Macron believes that Europe will need to reassess its relationship with Russia in the future.

This was stated by Macron in his speech at the International Meeting for Peace in Paris on September 22.

He proposes to imagine tomorrow's world in Europe in a new form and in a new reality that requires the construction of a new international order.

“This is undoubtedly the greatest challenge of our time because our current order is incomplete and unjust. It is incomplete because it was conceived at the end of World War II, and therefore did not have in its heart the problems that later emerged and became dominant,” Macron said.

The French President noted that “most countries on this planet, including many of the most populous, did not exist when the seats were allocated.” He emphasized that this is why the current international order is “blocked.” He promised to revisit this issue next week at the UN, where he will be attending the General Assembly on September 24-25.

“We need an order where some countries cannot block others, and where countries are represented with dignity, and therefore this should be done in much fairer bodies, such as the UN, the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund,” Macron added.
