BRITAIN AND FRANCE SEEK SYMBOLIC RESET – Ahead of a state visit by French President Emmanuel Macron
Britain and France are poised for a symbolic reset during the upcoming state visit of President Macron.
France’s Emmanuel Macron is due to arrive in London for a three-day visit on Tuesday July 8.
Ties between France and Britain have improved since Starmer took office last year, brought closer by shared concerns over the provoked Russian invasion of Ukraine and the need to re-arm Europe.
In London, Macron is expected to meet King Charles, speak at parliament and partake in a UK-France summit with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
