France urged middle eastern countries to stop what it described as baseless calls for boycotts of French products being pushed by a radical minority.

President Emmanuel Macron vowed they would never give in to Islamic radicals.
On Sunday, Macron tweeted that France "will not give in, ever" to Islamic radicals, adding they do not accept hate speech but defend reasonable debate.
There are already growing calls to boycott French goods in the Arab world after Macron criticized Islamists and vowed to continue with cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
Macron's initial comments were in response to the beheading earlier this month of a teacher, Samuel Paty, outside his school in a suburb outside Paris after he had shown Prophet Mohammed cartoons during a class on freedom of expression.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation decried the murder but also criticized the "justification for blasphemy-based harassment" in the name of free speech.
