Macron Pledges G7 Cooperation on Alternative Energy Routes for Gulf States

French President Emmanuel Macron has committed to working within the framework of the Group of Seven summit to develop alternative pathways for energy supplies that bypass the Strait of Hormuz, in coordination with Gulf states.

The initiative aims to reduce dependency on a critical chokepoint through which a significant portion of global energy flows transit. By establishing new distribution channels with cooperation from Gulf nations, the effort seeks to enhance energy security and create more resilient supply chains independent of the strategically vulnerable waterway.
