7:19 a.m .: Rishi Sunak received at the Elysee Palace this Friday
Emmanuel Macron receives Rishi Sunak in Paris on Friday for a summit aimed at writing the “renewal” of the “essential” alliance between France and the United Kingdom after years of estrangement.
Fifteen days before a State visit to France by King Charles III for his first trip abroad, the French President welcomes the British Prime Minister to strengthen the fight against illegal immigration, a sensitive subject across the Channel, and cooperation on the defense and military aid to Ukraine.
According to London, the two leaders should announce “increased coordination of the supply of arms to Ukraine and the training” of Ukrainian soldiers, so that “thousands more” of them are ready for combat.
