Jean-Noël Barrot recorre el Golfo para reforzar las posiciones francesas

El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores francés, Jean-Noël Barrot, realizó una gira por el Golfo el 30 de abril y el 1 de mayo de 2026. Visitó Arabia Saudí, Omán y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, tras la cancelación de la escala en Qatar. Francia pretende aprovechar el distanciamiento de las monarquías del Golfo con Washington para fortalecer sus posiciones.

El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Jean-Noël Barrot, visitó Arabia Saudí, Omán y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos el jueves y el viernes. La etapa en Qatar fue cancelada debido a un asunto personal de su homólogo, el jeque Mohammed al-Thani.

Las monarquías petroleras, molestas con Donald Trump por no haberles advertido antes de iniciar la guerra junto a Israel contra Irán el 28 de febrero, están agradecidas a Francia. París les ayudó desde el primer día del conflicto a interceptar drones y misiles iraníes dirigidos contra ellos, según Georges Malbrunot, enviado especial en Riad, Abu Dabi y Mascate.

La gira se produce en un momento en que las declaraciones de Irán y Estados Unidos aumentan la amenaza de reanudación de la guerra. Francia espera capitalizar esta brecha con Washington para reforzar su posición en estas monarquías, que fueron los objetivos iniciales de los ataques iraníes.
