France launched a blindside at Australia this week over its involvement in a UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons.
Australia and most western countries are signatories to the United Nations’ Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
A senior French diplomat told The Australian during the week that sending an observer to a meeting of parties to the prohibition treaty in New York next month was a “contradiction” in Australia’s foreign policy. “It is also contradictory with Australia’s ambition to reinforce its partnership with NATO, which is and remains a nuclear alliance and whose credible nuclear deterrence and defence posture are key in the context of Russia’s war of aggression.”
