France cautious about China's role but welcomes Iran-Saudi agreement
Paris would have much preferred that the Saudi-Iran rapprochement would have been reached by means other than Chinese mediation.
PARIS — The French Foreign Ministry is publicly supporting the agreement reached last week between Iran and Saudi Arabia to renew bilateral diplomatic relations, while also striking a cautious tone when it comes to China — the broker— and its growing role in region.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Anne-Claire Legendre, said on Tuesday that France supports all measures likely to contribute to the stability of the region.
