France mobilizes diplomatic resources to ensure energy supply security

In a written statement made by the Spokesperson of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was announced that French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot held an online meeting with French ambassadors in countries that are strategically important in energy supply.

In the statement, it was stated that the work carried out by diplomatic missions on the security of France's fuel supply was discussed at the meeting.

Reminding that France has sufficient fuel stocks until the end of the year, the statement noted that ideas were exchanged at the meeting on ensuring energy security and diversity in case the crisis in the Middle East is prolonged.

In the statement, French diplomatic missions were asked to be aware of the current developments in the countries they are in regarding energy and, if deemed necessary, to facilitate communication with local authorities and commercial partners in the energy sector.

In the statement, it was emphasized that French diplomatic missions were mobilized to secure France's energy supply, and said, "The goal is simple, to mobilize French diplomatic resources to find concrete solutions to reduce fuel prices that victimize the French." statements were included.

The tension in the Middle East caused blockages in energy supply chains, which increased fuel prices. The government took some measures, including sectoral aid, against increasing fuel prices, but these were not found sufficient.
