Macron Says France, South Korea Can Work Toward Hormuz Stability

French President Emmanuel Macron sees scope for cooperation with South Korea to stabilize the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, provided the conflict between the US and Iran subsides.

“We discussed the situation in the Middle East at length, and I believe we can do useful things to stabilize the situation in Hormuz, and more broadly once the bombardments have ceased,” Macron said after a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Seoul on Friday. “We want to strengthen our ties in strategic and defense matters.”
