This was stated by the French Ambassador to the United States, Pascal Confavre.
“We were not informed about this project until the first publications in the US and Australian media, which in turn appeared a few hours before Joe Biden's official announcement,” he told AFP.
Earlier, Australia announced that it had terminated the submarine agreement with the French company Naval Group.
This comes after Britain, the US and Australia announced a new AUKUS security partnership centered in the Indo-Pacific.
Within the framework of the alliance, it is planned to create nuclear submarines for the Australian Navy.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called the decision to terminate the contract a stab in the back.
After that, the European Union said that it was not informed about the creation of an alliance between the United States, Britain and Australia.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson assured that AUKUS is not directed against other countries.
