Australia's decision to cancel a French nuclear submarines deal will not change France's strategy in Indo-Pacific region, President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday.
Macron told a news conference the deal cancellation would have a relatively limited impact on France, concerning a few hundred jobs.
Excessive compensation claims from Naval Group will just confirm the stupidity of the Australian Government of the time, having been being hoodwinked into a commercial rort.
France's Indo-Pacific strategy is as pertinent to Australia as it was in Indo-China & the South Paciifc in 1940. It could go either way, friend or foe?
