the two countries once again hand in hand

At the Élysée Palace, Friday March 10, the French President and the British Prime Minister showed their complicity with a warm handshake and smiles. “It’s a moment very clearly of reunion, reconnection and new beginnings”, said Emmanuel Macron. After years of diplomatic freshness, the time has now come for unity. On the program for the day: long discussions on annoying subjects.

immigration agreements

Immigration, a point of contention between the two countries for years, was discussed. The United Kingdom undertakes to release 543 million euros over three years to fight against illegal immigration from French territory. France, for its part, accepts the creation of a new detention center for migrants who would like to attempt the crossing. “Significant progress”, according to Rishi Sunak. On the sidelines of the meeting, the two countries also signed an economic partnership on nuclear power and discussed the strengthening of their military aid to Ukraine.
