Meeting between Emmanuel Macron and Mohammed bin Salman reveals little more about the leader’s “rehabilitation” In practice The kingdom comes less than two weeks before US President Joe Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia. The meeting marks the arrival of the crown prince, nicknamed “MBS,” on the international stage amid the war in Ukraine and rising energy prices.
The French president confirmed that Emmanuel Macron would address the country as two NGOs filed complaints against “MBS”, prompting outrage from human rights defenders. “Human rights question as he does every time with Mohammed bin Salman”.
In view of rising energy prices, the food crisis in the Middle East and concerns over the Iranian nuclear program, the Elysée affirms that this dinner is necessary. “If we want to face each other, overcome the consequences of these crises on the one hand and weigh in the region in a way that benefits everyone, the only way is to talk to all the major players”The leader said.
