France-Australia leaders meet for the first time after the turmoil
According to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on the 31st, Australian Prime Minister Morrison, who is attending the G20 summit in Rome, told reporters that he took the initiative to talk to Macron during the summit and said that the other party was “very happy.” However, after the live photos were released, many netizens pointed out that Macron’s eyes were full of disdain and distrust.
Morrison said that Macron was talking with others at the time, he walked over, put his hand on Macron’s shoulder, and said hello “Hello, Emmanuel (an intimate name for Macron).” Morrison also emphasized that Macron was “very happy” to greet each other.
Subsequently, the Australian government also released photos of the scene. Among them, Morrison’s performance has been complained by many netizens, “Macron’s body language is saying that he does not like the person opposite.” “What about Morrison’s mask? Wearing a mask also respects and protects others.” Macron’s eyes were full of disdain and distrust.”
This is also the first meeting between the leaders of France and Australia since the “submarine storm” occurred. In September this year, the United States and Britain suddenly announced their support for the Australian Navy to establish a nuclear submarine force. The Australian government then tore up the conventional submarine contract signed with France. In response, the French Foreign Minister angrily rebuked “stabbed in the back”, and France has also recalled its ambassador to Australia in an unprecedented manner.
