France to build new aircraft carrier for country’s navy— Macron
"We must be strong in order to be feared, and in particular strong at sea. That is why, in accordance with the last two military programming laws and after a full and thorough review, I have decided to equip France with a new aircraft carrier," Macron said while addressing French troops at a military base in Abu Dhabi.
He explained that the decision to launch the “large-scale” program was made this week. The new carrier is expected to replace the current Charles de Gaulle vessel in the late 2030s, according to reports.
"This new aircraft carrier will be an illustration of the power of our nation, the power of industry and technology, power placed at the service of freedom on the seas and amid the upheavals of our time," Macron added.
Macron arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday to spend Christmas with French troops and engage in discussions with UAE officials on bilateral relations.
