France, Australia to hasten comeback from submarines row in Paris

A bitter row erupted in September 2021 when Australia's previous prime minister Scott Morrison abruptly tore up a contract for France to build a dozen diesel-powered submarines and announced a deal to buy US or British nuclear-powered subs.

In November, French President Emmanuel Macron said his country's submarine offer"remains on the table", a day after meeting with Albanese at a G20 summit in Indonesia.Albanese had already in July hailed a new start in ties during a visit to Paris, stressing he would act with"trust, respect and honesty" in his dealings with Macron.

France considers itself a Pacific power, thanks to its overseas territories including New Caledonia and French Polynesia, and observers say better relations with Canberra would help it assert influence there. But, they said, it is uncertain how far Macron wants to align his strategy there with that of the AUKUS members.
