France will not take any "hasty decision" on the future of its strategic relationship with Saudi Arabia until the facts around the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi are clear, a source in President Emmanuel Macron's Elysee office said on Wednesday.

"If decisions are to be taken in the future, they will be taken but based on facts that have been clarified and responsibilities that have been clearly established," the source said.
