Macron wins diplomatic victory in Indonesia during a Southeast tour

The world’s largest Muslim country has agreed to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, but only if it recognizes the Palestinian state. The assurance was assured by the President of Indonesia, Emmanuel Macron, who had been visiting Southeast Asia for a week.

The start of the trip was marked by an extraordinary moment: After reaching Vietnam on Monday, the French first woman’s pictures attracted the attention of the French president and covered the official agenda.

But in a rising controversial area between the interests of China and the United States, Macron is not distracted. He again argued that it was possible to build a world order based on international law, not just the strength of great forces.

During the trip, the French president had entered into agreements with thousands of millions of euros in defense and commercial fields. But your ambition is beyond the contracts.

In Indonesia, where he was in the last 48 hours, many analysts took into account a short diplomatic success: a rare statement from the President of Indonesia, for the first time, the possibility of identifying Israel – as long as Palestine is recognized.

Indonesia, a country in the world’s largest Muslim population, is currently not maintaining diplomatic relations with Israel. But this can cause some hope in the French diplomacy.

Paris will cooperate with an international conference on Palestinian in June -which is an initiative that can bring France close to the “Global South” and, in parallel, try to strengthen the support for the Ukrainian cause.

Macron expects a visit to Indonesia, which ended Thursday, which also helps to change the public awareness. In the country of Asian, it is common to the idea that France and the European Union will defend the dignity of international law in the case of Ukraine, but Israel’s performance in Gaza supports them as a border.
