At the International Institute of Strategic Studies’ annual Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the importance of forming a new coalition between European and Asian countries. His call focused on the need for these nations to maintain strategic independence and avoid becoming caught between the global powers of the United States and China.
During his keynote speech, Macron highlighted the risks tied to allowing Russia to expand its territory in Ukraine, warning that such actions could spark similar conflicts in other regions, notably Taiwan and the Philippines. He underscored France’s unique geopolitical stance, pointing out that despite being a European nation, France possesses territories in the Indo-Pacific with over 8,000 kilometers of coastline.
Macron’s appeal centered on stronger cooperation to safeguard sovereignty and peace across both Europe and Asia. This initiative represents a strategic shift towards broader alliances beyond traditional partnerships and reflects a broader aim of preserving global stability amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
Key points from Macron’s address include:
- Formation of a new Europe-Asia coalition to ensure strategic independence.
- Concerns about territorial expansions by Russia in Ukraine affecting regional security in Asia.
- The significance of France’s Indo-Pacific territories in international cooperation.
- The call for enhanced collaboration to protect sovereignty and peace.
