French military cooperation, the French President said, "Cooperation is existing and can be enhanced, but this visit was not for the conclusion of contracts. I want to strengthen personal relationships and I am keen on mutual trust." Asked about what is happening in Lebanon, he said: "I met today with Saad Al-Hariri during my visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I want to know his position about the change of government. France should convince the Lebanese to reach consensus. Elections will be held next spring. I appealed along with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to Lebanon for stability that will come through dialogue. " As for Iran's nuclear file, the French President said, "We do not mind that Iran acquires nuclear power for civilian purposes by a percentage of enrichment not exceeding 20%, confirming that the will of Iran to obtain nuclear power poses a threat to the region. In spite of the imposition of sanctions to deter the Iranian regime, and the negotiations about its nuclear program, it continues in its efforts to obtain nuclear energy. It is known that the imposition of sanctions on Iran and the restriction of its oil purchases raise prices, but I commend the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has recognized the situation and has tried to commit to its quota and the supply of the market. France will continue to put pressure on Iran to abandon its nuclear energy and continue on the table for discussions. We are against nuclear proliferation." He hailed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its position of supporting the global economy and creating a balanced oil market. On women's rights, the French President said, "The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques told me about the decisions taken since 2005 in this regard. I have met with some civil society organizations during my visit as there are reforms which have taken place and there are decisions which have been taken. In the future, there will take place timely and subsequent changes in the interest of women and human rights in the Kingdom. "
