Rights groups have criticised Macron’s decision to invite the man Western leaders believe ordered the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, to dinner at the Elysee Palace

The visit to Paris by the de facto Saudi ruler, widely known as MbS, comes two weeks after he held talks in Saudi Arabia with US President Joe Biden. The West is keen to reset relations with the Gulf Arab oil giant as it seeks to counter the rising regional influence of Iran, Russia and China. Government spokesperson Olivier Veran dismissed rights groups’ concerns about Macron hosting MbS, telling reporters on Thursday that the French president would not set aside his country’s values in talks with the Saudi leader, but that they would be held “while working to get oil access for the whole world”.
