Catherine Colonna cited the example of the Gulf region where Arab countries “almost suddenly changed their policy” as Iran approaches the threshold of building a nuclear bomb.
France has “its own interests to defend with regard to Syria”, the French foreign minister stressed today as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad returns to the Arab world’s diplomatic scene.
Paris should support its “Kurdish allies”, fight terrorism, drug trafficking, impunity for the crimes of the Syrian regime or even support a voluntary return of refugees and help access humanitarian aid, Catherine said. Columns during a hearing before the Senate Foreign Affairs return.
Bashar al-Assad will participate for the first time in 13 years on Friday in Saudi Arabia at the Arab League summit, marking his return to the Arab world’s diplomatic scene after a long isolation due to the war in his country.
The French minister pointed out the need, in general, for a “flexible and coherent” French diplomacy in the face of “a world that is constantly moving”, “increasingly conflictual and fragmented”.

“We have to analyze even better, to predict better, to understand and develop our action better, to react faster,” Katrin Colona insisted.
