RNA - "We look for the new administration to reform the French foreign policy and get committed to counterterrorism,” Mikdad said, al-Manar reported.

He added that the Syrian government and army are the real enemies of the terrorists and have sacrificed heavily to prevent terror from reaching France and other countries.

It is worth noting that the pro-European Emmanuel Macron, who ranked first in the first round of the elections, is set to face far-right candidate Marine Le Pen in France’s presidential run-off on May 7.
