Paris, France – The French Foreign Minister begins a regional tour of the Middle East today, including Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, in an effort to bolster France’s role in the region and monitor the latest political and security developments. The tour comes at a time of escalating tensions in the region, particularly concerning the Syrian conflict and the ongoing fighting in Iraq, as well as the economic and social situation in Lebanon.
The French official will meet with senior local officials to discuss regional security, counterterrorism efforts, and the resumption of peace initiatives. He will also address the migration and refugee crisis and explore ways to support economic and social stability in Lebanon.
Experts consider the tour a test of France’s role in the region, given the international competition for regional influence and its potential impact on the course of events in the Middle East in the coming months.
