The shadow foreign minister has welcomed the Albanese Government’s repaired relationship with France and said Paris “ought to” move on from the snubbing of the $90 billion submarine deal.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to head to France and meet with President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to Europe and is expected to further strengthen ties between the two nations.

“Breaking a significant commercial contract like that was going to come with some pain in terms of the relationship,” he told Sky News Australia on Monday. Nearly a year after the announcement of the AUKUS agreement, the final commercial arrangements have been confirmed with Australia set to pay the French shipbuilder $835 million in compensation.
