PARIS, April 27 (Xinhua) — French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that he will resume exchanges with Iran after concluding his visit to Andorra.
Macron made the remarks during a two-day visit to Andorra, saying that the current ceasefire between the United States and Iran is a good thing, and the next step should be advancing discussions.
Sustained tensions and long-distance responses between the parties involved in the conflict are not good, he added.
Macron stressed that it is important to ensure the passage of gas, oil, fertilizers and other goods through the Strait of Hormuz, as it affects the global economy.
Macron has welcomed the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran earlier this month and meanwhile called for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. ■
