ISTANBUL (AA) - French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday as part of his Gulf tour, the Elysee Palace said.
Macron began his tour in Kuwait on Monday before traveling to the United Arab Emirates. He also visited Qatar on Tuesday.
The tour comes amid heightened regional tensions and disruptions to maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which a significant share of global oil supplies passes.
