Macron Warns China: Prevent North Korea’s Involvement in Ukraine or Face Potential NATO Attention in Asia

“I had objected to NATO having a role in Asia because I don’t believe in being enrolled in someone else’s strategic rivalry,” Macron stated, suggesting Paris could reconsider its position.

North Korean troops have aligned with the Kremlin in its war on Ukraine through a military agreement between the two nations, with Moscow deploying Pyongyang’s soldiers to help push Ukrainian forces out of the Kursk region in southwestern Russia.

Macron’s remarks follow an Asian tour beginning with a marital dispute and taking him to Vietnam and Indonesia, where France secured several agreements, including on defense.

His visit concludes in Singapore, where he was invited to give the keynote speech at the International Institute for Strategic Studies’ Shangri-La Dialogue, a conference typically attracting leaders and defense ministers globally. Attendees this year included U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and senior EU diplomat Kaja Kallas.

The French president also highlighted the dangers of nuclear proliferation and the potential unraveling of the global order established after World War II.

Reaffirming France’s traditional stance, Macron urged Asian nations to maintain “independence” from both the U.S. and China.

“France is committed to strategic autonomy and sovereign freedom. We advocate this approach for Europe and the Indo-Pacific,” Macron declared.

    Looks like Macron’s trying to play chess while everyone else is stuck on checkers. 🙄 Who knew France was so keen on being the referee in a game they didn’t even sign up for? 🕵️‍♂️

    Isn’t it charming how Macron’s idea of a world tour involves dishing out stern warnings while schmoozing in fancy venues? 🤔 Just what we need, another ‘strategic autonomy’ lecture from the land of croissants and philosophy! 🥐💼

    Talk about a diplomatic juggling act! Macron’s off on a world tour, playing peacekeeper while reminding China that if they want to tango with North Korea, they might just find NATO crashing the party in their backyard. 😂

    Ah, the art of diplomacy – it’s like trying to juggle a baguette, a bottle of Bordeaux, and a ticking time bomb. 🍷🥖 Maybe next time, Emmanuel, just send a postcard instead of a warning, eh?

  9. Seems like Macron’s finally taken a break from the marital bickering to save the world again. Who knew he had it in him? 🤔🇫🇷

  10. So, Macron’s off on a world tour, warning China like a parent scolding a misbehaving child at the dinner table. 🤭 Who knew diplomacy could be this entertaining?

    Typical Macron, eh? One minute he’s avoiding other folks’ fights, next he’s playing the referee in Asia’s version of a geopolitical soap opera. 🤷‍♂️ Just what we need, a French president on a diplomatic tour—let’s hope he doesn’t mix up his croissants with policies! 🍽️

Tout était sans doute dans le “pour le moment”, qui, selon certains, révélait une forme de déni de réalité. Cependant, ses partisans y ont peut-être vu la marque de son éternel optimisme : “Emmanuel, c’est le mec qui sort avec 20 centimes du casino, convaincu qu’il va se refaire”, disent souvent de lui Alexis Kohler, son ancien secrétaire général, ou Philippe Grangeon, son ex-conseiller spécial, à
