This is an intermediate scenario that will in my opinion quickly lead to the same outcome. And along with that, the ability to collectively join forces, an effort in which I am taking part. The India that is emerging, these new economies that are also becoming not just economic but political powers and which consider themselves, as some have noted, genuine civilization states and which have not just disrupted our international order, assumed a key role in the economic order, but have also very forcefully reshaped the political order and the political thinking that goes with it, with a great deal more inspiration than we have. It is how we rebuild our deep understanding of a country, France’s deeper understanding in these countries, but it is also a useful action for us and at the international level.
And I believe that to achieve the goal that I just mentioned, that is, to rebuild a real European project in a world that is at risk of bipolarization, to succeed at forming a common front between the EU and Russia, it is vital to think of those concentric circles that are structuring Europe and creating a new relationship with Russia. France, as we well know, did not instigate the famous JCPOA.
Nobody who was at the table at the G7 wants Iran to ever have a nuclear weapon, and everyone wants stability and peace in the region. Twenty years ago, we all thought that human rights were on an unstoppable trajectory, that everybody would automatically embrace democracy and the same values that we do. I believe it has not.

So we can draw inspiration and learn from our past mistakes. I believe we have long made the mistake of leaving the word “sovereignty” to nationalists.

At the same time, it must be said that while our relations have been based on mistrust, there are documented reasons for it. We addressed cultural issues, broaching the vast issue of returning works of art, which is essential to help many of these states rebuild and rethink their stories, and to do so in collaboration with France. To achieve this, as I said to President Putin last week in Brégançon, we must move forward one step at a time. Greece now wants to join. I believe we must build a new architecture based on trust and security in Europe, because the European continent will never be stable, will never be secure, if we do not ease and clarify our relations with Russia. And if we are unable to accomplish anything useful with Russia at any given time, we will remain in a state of deeply unproductive tension. And we must also have a real strategic discussion in order to create the conditions for technological sovereignty – I believe this verydeeply – at industrial level in the broad sense. Because tomorrow’s industry will only be compatible with this agenda. Reading these speeches was also humbling since many of the things we thought would advance very quickly two years ago are still in progress, and many things from two years ago are unfortunately still valid when we look at the Sahel, the Libya crisis and many other things. A revolution in terms of the Internet, social networks and now artificial intelligence – an incredible globalization of intelligence, technological progress taking place at an unprecedented speed. What does this mean?It means those European countries previously most nervous about defence issues – some of which had sometimes thought they would be protected only through a special relationship with Russia and others only through a relationship with NATO – believe Europe is going to regain sovereignty in defence terms. I have made 20 bilateral visits to European Union countries in two years. Ambassadors’ conference – Speech by M. Emmanuel Macron, President of the Republic.I was very hesitant to come and address you today. This means we must also reconsider our reflexes. This will be the responsibility of the Marseille summit and especially of the biodiversity COP in China. These states were spectators but are now starting to feel the effects of this conflict, which allows partnerships between African states on this subject and also allows involvement from the international community on this security issue to help each of them.But Africa represents much more for us, it is our essential ally so that Europe can continue to play its full role in global affairs, and in an address in Ouagadougou in November 2017, we laid the foundations of the new partnership which we will need to meet our major future challenges, and it is on this basis that we must continue. And I think that this is crucial when it comes to Europe. We also have partners on one of the important challenges – and I will come back to this in a moment – namely the technological challenge.If we want to make a success of sovereignty in terms of technology and connectivity, we must take action on the Indo-Pacific axis. These tangible groups will help to tackle sectors which have been completely ignored until now.
