President Emmanuel Macron has embarked on a visit to Kuwait as the French government continues to deal with the aftermath of this weekend’s violence acording to BBC.
It was not clear on Sunday whether the French president would continue with the trip, but he confirmed it would go ahead during an address yesterday evening.
“I’ve taken a number of initiatives on an international level in order to ensure that we have fuel and gas and will continue to do so by visiting the Gulf countries in order to secure our supply,” he said during his 10-minute speech.
Macron will spend three days in the Gulf, having arrived in Kuwait this morning. He will then visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Qatar before returning to France on Wednesday.
