Yes, Salman will spend a whole week in Paris. It is expected that he will take part in the signing of a new global financial pact. The publication writes that Macron and Salman had previously met last July. Earlier, Saudi Arabia held an ambiguous position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yes, the country voted for UN resolutions that condemned the actions of the Russian Federation, but refused to increase oil production, as the United States asked.
This could have a negative impact on the Kremlin's income from the sale of oil. The unnamed official of the Elysee Palace told reporters that France wants Saudi Arabia to accelerate Ukraine's victory in the war. "On the basis of conversations, we know that they share this vision," the source said. It is reported that negotiations between Macron and Salman will also be devoted to the renewal of relationships between Saudi Arabia and Iran and how they can help solve tension in Lebanon.
Recall that on June 12, Macron said that Ukraine's counter -offensive will last for several months. French President emphasized the "advantage" of the Ukrainian military command in terms of tactics and organization. According to him, the counter -offensive operation of the Armed Forces was planned for a long time, and France began to supply more weapons, shells and armored vehicles to Kiev. Also on June 1, Zelensky and Macron confirmed an agreement to counter the Russian Federation.
