France’s President Macron says leaders from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE will be invited to take part in next week’s G7 session in France, which will focus on negotiations to end the conflict with Iran and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, Al Jazeera reports.

In comments carried by AFP, Macron says the disruptions in Hormuz have “a real impact on our economies” due in particular to soaring fuel prices.
