Thus, as TASS reports, the diplomat commented on the speech of French President Emmanuel Macron to the French ambassadors.
“It is very important to have good relations with Russia in the context of changes in the world system and the increasing influence of China, as well as the less multilateral position of the United States ... These relations should be built at the level of both France and the European Union,” she said.
Bermann indicated that Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and is “associated with most of the ongoing crises, be it the Ukrainian crisis or Syria, but also with crises in Africa, in particular in the Central African Republic.”
Earlier, Macron, in a speech on French foreign policy issues, called for a thorough “shuffle of cards” in relations with Russia.
As the President of France noted, it is necessary to intensify diplomatic work in the Russian direction.
In the State Duma, commenting on his words, they indicated that Macron was leading the West out of the "sanctions ambush."
