“I say “Welcome” to Liz Truss, I express congratulations to her from France,” RIA Novosti quoted Macron as saying after a video conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

According to him, the parties should actively cooperate in the energy sector and on other issues.

He added that he would do everything to continue trusting cooperation with Britain.

Truss said earlier that it is not clear at the moment whether Macron is a friend of Britain.
