Diplomacy, homage, “kindness”. On a state visit to France since Wednesday, British King Charles III has been able to count on the warm welcome from French President Emmanuel Macron.
At the Palace of Versailles, where the two heads of state are dining this evening, Emmanuel Macron thanked Charles III for his presence a few months after his accession, “a sign of friendship and trust” as well as a “tribute to our past » and a “guarantee of the future”.
“Despite Brexit, because what binds us comes from so far away and you are here today, Your Majesty, I know that we will continue to write part of the future of our continent together, to meet the challenges and to serve the causes that we have in common,” he said in the sumptuous setting of the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles.
For his part, King Charles III urged France and the United Kingdom to “reinvigorate” their friendship, during a toast before the sumptuous state dinner.
“It is up to us all to reinvigorate our friendship so that it is up to the challenges of this 21st century,” declared King Charles III at the end of the first day of a state visit under the sign of the relaunch of Franco-British friendship, after the turbulence of Brexit.
