French President Calls for a Diplomatic Solution to the Strait of Hormuz

Paris: The French president called for a diplomatic solution that would guarantee the Strait of Hormuz remains open during a press conference in Paris.

He also said, “In the coming weeks, we will hold a meeting with members of the G7 to review energy-related issues. This initiative will aim to strengthen cooperation between G7 member states and our key partners and avoid unnecessary tensions. It will also potentially examine options such as the use of strategic reserves or the lifting of sanctions.”

According to French media reports, petrol prices have reached their highest level in the country’s history, while diesel prices are also approaching a new record. The surge in fuel prices is intensifying protests by the French public.
