Turkish foreign minister in Tehran for talks

Turkish Foreign Minister, Mehmet Cavusoglu, on Monday (15 November) arrived in Tehran for talks with Iranian officials, including his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. This will be the first meeting between the two men following the appointment of Abdollahian as foreign minister.

A statement by the Turkish foreign ministry earlier said that “during the visit, all aspects of our bilateral relations will be discussed and views on regional and international issues will be exchanged". Iranian foreign ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh in his weekly press conference announced that border issues and management of shared water resources will be on the agenda of the talks with the Turkish side.

Lebanese media had previously reported that the Turkish Foreign Minister would travel to Beirut next week after visiting Tehran.

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou ousted after just nine months in office

Legislators toppled France’s government in a confidence vote on Monday 8 September, a new crisis for Europe’s second-largest economy that obliges President Emmanuel Macron to search for a fourth prime minister in 12 months. Prime Minister Francois Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him. Bayrou paid the price for what appeared to be a staggering political miscalculation, gambling that lawmakers would back his view that France must slash public spending to rein in its debts. Instead, they seized on the vote that Bayrou called to gang up against the 74-year-old centrist who was appointed by Macron last December.
