French President Emmanuel Macron, during his official visit to Japan, in addition to discussions on important international issues, attracted the attention of the media with a funny moment.
During a conference call with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Macron and his counterpart performed the famous "Kamehameha!" gesture from the popular cartoon series Dragon Ball, bringing an unusual moment to a meeting loaded with serious global topics.
As Le Parisien writes, in his statements, Macron focused on developments in the Middle East, emphasizing the impact that the conflict has on the global economy, especially on the energy sector.
He noted the importance of Europe's "predictability" in international relations, making an indirect criticism of US policies, which he said have created uncertainty for allies.
One of the main concerns remains the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route for oil transportation. Japan, which obtains about 95% of its oil imports from this area, is among the countries most affected by the tensions.
Macron and Takaichi emphasized the need to reduce tensions and restore stability, underlining the importance of respecting international law and guaranteeing the safety of navigation.
Both leaders expressed their support for a ceasefire and dialogue as a way to resolve the current crises.
The moment of the "Kamehameha!" game, although symbolic, was interpreted as an attempt to bring cultures closer together and to convey a friendly message at a time of global tensions.
