During a high-profile visit to Seoul, President Emmanuel Macron urged medium-sized powers like Japan and South Korea to strengthen cooperation and resist being overshadowed by the global dominance of the U.S. and China. He emphasized that these nations must avoid becoming “vassals” and instead work together to build a coalition focused on independent security and strategic autonomy. Macron’s remarks highlight France’s push for middle powers to play a more assertive role in shaping global affairs, promoting a balance of power that is not solely dictated by the largest nations. #Macron #MiddlePowers #StrategicAutonomy #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews
