Sharjah24 – AFP: Emmanuel Macron, in a speech to the Armed Forces, praised the role of the French army in the Sahel, the growing European cooperation in defence, and the achievements of the French defense industry.
Lauding the great role of the French army battling the militants in the Sahel, Emmanuel Macron, French president, stressed, “ I emphasise it here: without our armies, all or part of this region would have fallen into the hands of terrorism. With a properly organised terrorist state. Our armies have prevented that."
He added, “During these last four years we have built an unprecedented foundation of European cooperation. Let's assess it all together: Europe's defense has never advanced so much since the 1950s. In terms of capabilities, in terms of major industrial projects, in terms of joint operations."
