Geographical position- France is located on the western edge of Europe, bordered by the Bay of Biscay (North Atlantic
Ocean) in the west, by the English Channel in the northwest, and by the North Sea in the north. France borders Belgium
 and Luxembourg in the northeast, Germany Switzerland, and Italy in the east, the  mediterrian sea
 Monaco, Spain and Andorra in the south.
Countries Relation- France is actively involved in very close defense relations with its principal European allies, the UK
and Germany, as well as with the United States. In the context of the British exit from the European Union, the strengthening
of European defense policy, and the presidency of Donald Trump, these three bilateral relations are in a phase of change. This
provides the opportunity for France to rethink these partnerships, particularly through renewed and strengthened inter-
connectedness with the multilateral level, and the development of trilateral cooperation.
Country’s Proposal- Amid soaring cases of the new COVID variant Omicron, France will prepare a "white plan" to deal
with the medical emergency like situation, reported Sputnik. Citing the statement of France Health Minister Olivier Veran, the
news agency said that the country has been battling with limited medical resources and soaring cases. He informed that every
6 minutes, a critically COVID-19 patient got admitted to the hospital, leading to the heavy utilization of the hospital resources.
According to him, earlier, the record was one patient every 10 minutes. "The white plan will probably be presented
throughout the nation in the next few days as it has been adopted in a state after state," Sputnik quoted Veran as saying to
the France 2 television channel He informed that the move was essential in order to mobilize the medical resources such as
health staff, ICU beds, ventilators, and other emergency services. The France Health Minister also indicated taking help from
the private sector to deal with the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the tremendous increase in the COVID cases,
he ruled out any possibilities of invoking a complete lockdown or stringent measures. According to the Health Minister, the
citizens knew how to live with the virus and added the government was planning to accelerate the inoculation rate in the next
two to three days.  It isworth mentioning the country had reported the first case of the Omicron variant in mainland France on
December 2 when a 50-year-old tested positive after returning from a trip to Nigeria.
