French President Emmanuel Macron proposed on Friday boosting military spending by over a quarter in coming years, saying the hike would help ensure a transformation of the army to respond to multiple potential threats.
The planned 2024-2030 budget would enable a "transformation" programme to adapt the military to the possibility of high-intensity conflicts, made all the more urgent since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Macron said.
"France has and will have armies ready for the challenges of the century," said Macron, speaking at the Mont-de-Marsan air base in southwestern France. He added France would invest massively in drones and military intelligence and said he was asking the military to pivot towards a strategy of high-intensity conflict.
He also said France will beef up its capacity to respond to cyber attacks and would ensure it had more military capacity are available at any given time.
