In an interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Juhani highlighted that these ties reflect mutual understanding and a joint dedication to advancing peace and fostering growth that benefits both nations and contributes to global stability.\n\nAccording to Al-Juhani, the relationship emphasizes cooperative efforts, the spread of peace, and the prioritization of development for the benefit of both the French and Saudi populations. He noted that Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman's visit to France, at the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron, follows substantial progress in bilateral relations between Riyadh and Paris.\n\nThis progress, as explained by Al-Juhani, was achieved through the signing of major partnership agreements that outlined a roadmap covering political, economic, cultural, and artistic fields. The strengthening of ties has resulted in sustainable interests and projects, enabling both countries to tackle issues of mutual concern. Al-Juhani emphasized that the visit carries significant political implications, extending beyond bilateral relations, as it follows repeated contacts between the two nations on regional security, de-escalation, preserving achievements, and ensuring freedom of navigation.",
