On the second day of his tour of Australia, he called for the establishment of the 'Paris-Delhi-Canberra Axis', Reuters reported.

France has signed a $ 38 billion contract to supply submarine to Australian Navy in 2016. The French President is touring the country with the hope that the military unity of the two countries will be strengthened by its continuation.

The 40-year-old Macroon commented that there should be close unity among nearby types of democratic states.

"We are not foolhardy. If we want to get the honor and respect of equal partner to China, we must be organized, "said Macroon in a speech given on Australian Navy Base.

He said that the new Paris-Delhi-Canberra Axis will be the key to meeting joint targets of France, Australia and India in the Indo-Pacific region.

Macroon visited China in January this year. Beijing's proposed 'silk road' initiative can only be 'not a one-way' initiative, he warned at the time.

He has promised to further strengthen defense partnership with India in March.

Observers said that the purchase of the French warship in 2016, New Delhi has already opened the way for strengthening military relations with the United Nations permanent member state.

The French president's visit to Australia this year is increasingly tense in the Pacific region. France also has geographical and commercial interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
