All of that is an attempt to make sure that this one works.

So I think from the French side they feel that it's so far been successful, but you know, we'll always

with these summits.

I mean it's a moment for showcasing your country.

It's a moment for looking like a global leader, a global statesman.

But at the end of it all, it depends whether any of this is followed up.

And we've seen Trump commit to things one day and then uncommit the next day.

Well I think there's always a frustration that you have these communiques that are signed up to by the leaders, that they are always the fruit of sort of compromise and that after that everyone goes away and gets on with things, uh business as as before.

The one thing I do think's interesting and useful is for these leaders to be by themselves and have informal discussions, you know, one on ones.

A lot of them were talking with each other in different parts of the of the gardens of the hotel.

There are very

Very few formats and events when they really can do that without the presence of advisors, without the presence of a much more formal declaration.

So in that sense, it can be useful.

And I think there is a feeling, it's certainly on the French side, that that has been the real value of this summit, has been especially with having Zelensky there and being able to have those sort of conversations with Trump, Zelensky and and others uh about how to move forward on Ukraine and

Opening the Strait of Ormuz.
