REMARKS BY PRESIDENT MACRON AHEAD OF G7 AND NATO SUMMIT---------------------------------------------------- “I am happy to see you again today at the Elysee Palace for this press conference before several important international meetings. Maybe I'll take a few moments to try to share some beliefs and messages with you, and then I'll answer any questions you have. We are gradually coming out and I say this with great humility and caution from a period of extremely severe pandemic in our country, on the continent and all over the world which has tested our collective ability to react and cooperate and we are going with it. especially the new US administration have the opportunity to first summit, in particular the G7 summit chaired by the United Kingdom, then a NATO summit. » Introduced President Macron--------------------------- "REBOOT INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOLLOWING THE PARIS CONFERENCE ON AFRICAN FINANCING" A DECLARED PDT MACRON--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- President Macron deployed in more than an hour and a half the four priorities of international politics in a new impetus of international cooperation, welcoming the arrival of the new American President Joe Biden “This comes a few weeks after the Summit on the financing of African economies that we held in Paris. These deadlines are for me both the opportunity to restart international cooperation on major subjects and to make work several commitments and causes in which France has invested a lot for 4 years and also moments of clarification on important subjects. I would like to focus my remarks around 4 priorities which have undoubtedly shaped our international policy for many in recent years. President Macron, stated the progress vis-à-vis the African continent, since the last G7 that he had marbled in Biarritz, before the COVID-19 pandemic: "We obviously wish to continue these advances on the occasion of this G7, in particular, we will make commitments for the refinancing of the Global Partnership for Education that we co-chaired three years ago with Senegal for the refinancing conference and we will allocate 50% of the funding for the education of young girls. I say this because it is a fight that we have also waged there from the beginning with a few others, but in terms of the fight against inequalities, investing in the education of young girls, especially on the African continent, is essential. It has declined in recent months because of the pandemic and because of the conflicts happening across the region. We will increase our commitment by focusing on the education of young girls. The other point is obviously that we are preparing the work for the “Generation Equality” forum that we co-chair with Mexico and UN Women and which will be held here in the last days of June and the first days of July, and which will also allow, 25 years after Beijing, to fight to preserve the rights of women everywhere in the world, and including in regions which are closest to our country where these rights are very often threatened, that it it is about the right of women to dispose of their body or it is simply about the right to have a just place in society.French President Macron added: “On the borders of Europe, these rights are today called into question and this meeting will be absolutely essential in this regard. This is the main and the first point on which I wanted to come back, this G7 summit, as you can see, a climax in a way of the last few months, it is for us, thanks to the return of the American administration which shares the core of our convictions, also thanks to the work we have done over the past four years, the possibility of having real results in addition to everything we have been pursuing in recent times. So explains President Macron.

« AN EFFECTIVE MULTILATERALISM OVER THE CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE, HEALTH, EQUITY, DIGITAL AND TAX ISSUES » PDT MACRON SAID------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, effective multilateralism through causes and commitments, be it climate, health, equality, digital technology or taxation. The second axis is that of European sovereignty. The third is that of a new relationship with the African continent. And the fourth is that of regional crisis management which, in recent years, has focused on the fight against terrorism, the defense of our values ??and respect for the sovereignty of all States. . I think I can say that the current period will make it possible to obtain results on each of these axes and also invites useful clarifications. The first point I wanted to come back to is that of effective multilateralism. We have often defended it. During the last 4 years, the European countries have defended, supported in a way guaranteed this effective multilateralism, while the United States of America had decided to leave the Paris agreements and renounced cooperation in many areas.
