PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday lamented an"unprecedented crisis" in the global political system and urged new alliances to solve the world's problems, in a call backed by Chinese and EU leaders.
The global political and economic systems constructed after the end of World War II, he added, had brought peace to some regions and helped lift many out of poverty. But the comments by Macron, who has made clear he wants a dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, received warm backing from NATO non-member Russia.
At the same event Tuesday, EU Commission president-elect Ursula von der Leyen insisted that tackling today's challenges required"strong institutions and more effective multilateral cooperation".
