Summary

On October 20, 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron conducted a diplomatic tour of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi to address energy security and defense cooperation. Amid global fuel disruptions linked to the US-Israel war on Iran, Macron sought to secure oil and gas supplies for France. During the trip, France signed multiple agreements with Kuwait and the UAE covering defense, investment, and technology. Additionally, France secured commitments for diesel supplies from Bahrain and the UAE to mitigate shortages caused by the conflict. The visit also focused on reinforcing defense ties as France seeks to expand its equipment exports to the region.
