France regrets diplomatic dispute with Washington
The French Permanent Mission to the United Nations expressed regret over the publication of a tweet criticizing the United States' vote during the General Assembly meeting. The statement emphasized that differing opinions do not hinder dialogue with Washington or their historic relations. France's acknowledgment of this mistake was welcomed in Washington, which led to the suspension of the appointment procedures for France’s new ambassador to the United States, Orelian Luchovalle, a process that had been on hold since the vote in the General Assembly against extending the term of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk. This comes amid tensions resulting from disagreements over human rights issues and UN voting decisions.
