PRESIDENT MACRON PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE AUSTRALIAN SOLDIERS WHO DEFENDED HIS NATIVE CITY “AMIENS“ A CENTURY AGO “Welcome, I am delighted that we have the opportunity to exchange and have dinner with our respective teams in a few moments after the G20 we came from.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I owe you a secret: for who, as my wife and I was born in Amiens, Australia is not a partner like the others because without Australia during the First World War and without the courage of the young soldiers Australians, life would probably not have been the same.And so when we talk about ANZAC Day, which is so fundamental to our nation and our relationship and the struggle that was waged in Villers-Bretonneux by your soldiers almost a century ago, this has a very special and intimate meaning , In any case for us. And so this bond is also the one that goes beyond us and that which through this sacrifice that was founding for your nation and for ours, there is something very particular between our countries. We spent two days together at the G20, I think I can say that on all the major challenges of our time, our two countries are side by side. On the subject of the fight against terrorism, France and Australia share very common visions of great realism and pragmatism, and I believe that our G20 has made real progress and I know that, We have defended the same vision of things, never reductive but in any case always demanding.------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is the same vision that unites us, moreover, within the framework of the coalition against Daech (ISIS) where our two countries are involved; Australia is a major partner in this coalition, since we are fighting together in the Levant to strike at the root of the evil with military relations, which I think I can say here.“ added President Emmanuel Macron.

PRESIDENT MACRON RECALLS THE STRONG SUPPORT OF AUSTRALIA ON PARIS AGREEMENT------------------ “It is the same convergence of views that has united us on commercial subjects and trade and international economy and which is at the heart of the bilateral relationship that unites us, I will come back to it and it is the same Convergence that we have found on the subject of the climate where I know that you have especially during your entire political career had a sense of responsibility, made strong commitments and in this capacity I really want to thank the " Australia both from the role it played at COP21, by agreeing to it, ratifying it and by the very concrete initiatives you are taking in launching initiatives on disaster reduction Natural resources, on the protection of the oceans and reaffirming this commitment which, again, is an ambitious commitment, but I think it can also be very pragmatic because both of us want to develop the economy of But we are convinced that this is the most appropriate way to do so. The French President Macron and Australian PM, Malcolm Turnball had an excellent exchange at G20, in Hamburg, before he invites him to visit him in Paris during his European journey. “I also listened during the G20 and in the exchange we had together on the return of the Prime Minister on the Asia-Pacific region, of course, in which Australia is a leading actor but also important to us , Given our ultramarine territories and our presence in the region and this area which is today the most dynamic in the world, it has benefited greatly from the freedom of movement of the rule of law and it is also this attachment which is ours and this is Australia's leadership. And my wish is that, together, we can do more in the region, in any case that we can try to help you and that is what we are going to talk about in a few moments.“ The French head of state Macron, added. PRESIDENT MACRON RECALLS THE STRONG BILATERAL RELATIONS OF FRANCE AND AUTSRALIA “Finally, the bilateral relationship between our two countries, beyond the history I mentioned, is also that of an intensity in the economic relationship that has never, I think, Such intensity and it is the result of your decisions, a choice that is both national and with international consequences for us, that of truly developing a strategic autonomy, to build ocean-class submarines To build an Australian industrialist justly sovereign and perennial and not simply, if I may say so, a contract. And it is the choice you made when launching this call for tenders, several years ago, now, by concluding and I welcome it, with French companies, DCNS in particular became NAVAL GROUP.“ President macron explained and mentioned Mr Turnbull will visit the submarine shipyards, in Cherbourg before travelling to the UK and meeting HM the Queen Elizabeth and UK´s PM Teresa May.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Several French companies are obviously included in this project and tomorrow you will go to Cherbourg with the Minister of Armies to visit the shipyards and inaugurate the Australian office on the site. I want to tell you how much I am conscious through this choice that honours French industry and more broadly the French, civil and military know-how in this matter, how much I measure that we have destiny bound because it is a choice For my part, that I live as a strategic choice, a real partnership and the will to build a common history in this sector and I can only read it in echo with the past that is ours.“ President Macron stressing on the strong bilateral relations between the two countries.

Strategic partnership. We have more than 600 French companies that are located in Australia in urban transport, renewable energies and also all these sectors that I want together that we can develop while also developing the Australian presence in France and in Europe and your investments.
