Australia's prime minister welcomes France’s decision to return its ambassador to the country, saying the bilateral relationship was bigger than the canceled submarine contract.
Morrison dismissed suggestions that Australia needed to rebuild its relationship with France after canceling a 90 billion Australian dollar contract last month, an act French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian described as a “stab in the back.”
“France’s presence and significance and influence in the Indo-Pacific isn’t about a contract. It’s about the fact they have an actual presence here, in the Indo-Pacific, that they have a long-standing commitment and work with Australia across a whole range of different issues,” he added. It is not yet clear how much the termination of the contract signed in 2016 will cost Australia. It had already spent AU$2.4 billion on the project, Morrison said last month.“We have a very good understanding of how we’re going to proceed with that matter. We’ll be working within the contract as it’s set out,” Morrison said.
