Head of the French Foreign Ministry Jean-Yves Drian stated that France did not answer the ambassador from the UK against the background of the situation with Australia, as he knows the opportunist policies of this country. The words of the diplomat reports RIA Novosti.
“We recalled our ambassadors (from the USA and Australia – Ed.) To overestimate the situation. In the UK there is no need. We know their permanent opportunism. Therefore, there is no need to return our ambassador to explanations,” the minister said. / P>
