Hey there! Guess what? French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin just had their first phone call since 2022! 📞
They talked about some important things happening in the world. Let’s dive into what they discussed!
Talking About Iran’s Nuclear Program ⚛️
First up, they chatted about Iran’s nuclear program. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity, but some people worry it could be used to make nuclear weapons too. That’s a big deal!
President Macron said it’s important for Iran to follow the rules and let inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (that’s the IAEA) do their job. That way, everyone can make sure Iran is using nuclear energy peacefully.
Both leaders agreed that Iran has the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. They want Iran to keep its promises and work with the IAEA. They’re planning to talk more about this soon.
Discussing the Situation in Ukraine 🌍
They also talked about what’s happening in Ukraine. There’s been conflict there, and many countries are worried.
President Macron said France supports Ukraine and wants the fighting to stop. He thinks Ukraine and Russia should start talking to find a lasting peace.
President Putin had a different view. He said the conflict is because of Western countries’ actions. He also mentioned that giving modern weapons to Ukraine is making the situation last longer.
Putin thinks any peace agreement should be long-lasting and consider the “new realities” on the ground.
It’s a complex situation, but it’s good that leaders are talking! Communication is a key step towards solving problems.
Let’s hope for peace and cooperation in the future! ✌️
