French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday NATO still needs to make clear its strategic priorities, nearly a year after he said the trans-Atlantic alliance was "brain dead".

"We need to know who our enemies are and where," Macron told a news conference. NATO needs to work out a strategy regarding Russia, while China should not be the alliance's priority, he added.

NATO needs a Russia strategy that is "demanding, intractable even, when Russia launches incursions, cyber attacks or intimidates, but which also makes it possible to take into account the geography of Europe", Macron said.

NATO allies meet for a summit in Brussels next week, Reuters reported.
