French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has submitted his resignation, which was accepted by the President, Le Figaro reported. A new government lineup has already been announced in Paris.

In the new cabinet, several key ministers retained their positions. Jean-Noël Barrot remains Minister of Foreign Affairs, while the ministers of culture, justice, health, agriculture, and the interior also kept their portfolios.
