Macron urges Renault-Nissan stability in talks with Abe

French President Emmanuel Macron met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and urged that the Renault-Nissan alliance needs to be preserved, after Chairman Carlos Ghosn’s arrest in Tokyo, an Elysee official stated on Friday.

During a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of a G20 meeting of global leaders in Argentina, Abe informed Macron that “the legal process must be allowed to take its course”, the French official stated.

“For his part, (Macron) restated his firm wish that the alliance should be preserved, together with the stability of the group,” he added after the discussion in Buenos Aires.
