STORYLINE:
During his visit to the Pyrenees in France, Chinese President Xi Jinping enjoyed watching folklore dances and traditional music before lunch at a mountain restaurant on Tuesday.

France’s president is hosting China’s leader at a remote mountain pass in the Pyrenees for private meetings, after a high-stakes state visit in Paris dominated by trade disputes and Russia’s war in Ukraine.

President Emmanuel Macron made a point of inviting Chinese President Xi Jinping to the Tourmalet Pass near the Spanish border, where Macron spent time as a child visiting his grandmother.

It is meant to be a reciprocal gesture after Xi took Macron last year to the residence of the governor of Guangdong province, where the Chinese president’s father once lived.

Wives of both leaders, Brigitte and Peng Liyuan, were also in attendance and the couples then posed for pictures with the local dancers.
