French President Francois Hollande says that the 27 remaining members of the European Union must enjoy “real unity” after Britain leaves the bloc, but also repeats his call for a multi-speed Europe.

Hollande stated this at a gathering of French residents in Jakarta during an official visit to Indonesia.

“And if we want to look at our future, it should be, first of all, real unity for the 27, but also with the possibility of going faster for some countries that so decide,’’ Hollande said.
“It happens that I speak while a president in the U.S. is questioning the decisions that were reached in the Paris Agreement on climate, while there are protectionist temptations,’’ Hollande adds.
“We should press forward … to implement the agreements and commitments that were made in Paris, but also press forward on trade,” the French president says.
