Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman held a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss the latest regional developments. The two sides also discussed ways to strengthen regional security and ensure freedom of navigation in key waterways.
The call comes as the Middle East faces escalating tensions and serious security sensitivities. Analysts view the Riyadh-Paris consultation as reflecting the central roles of Saudi Arabia and France in efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent the spread of crisis in the Red Sea and surrounding waters.
Beyond security matters, the call is seen as part of ongoing efforts by both countries to strengthen their strategic partnership and align positions on complex regional files, including Lebanon, Yemen, and the overall security of the Persian Gulf.
