Emmanuel Macron welcomes Rishi Sunak in Paris for bilateral summit

French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed on Friday (March 10) British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris for a bilateral summit aimed at resetting relations between the two countries.

The leaders aim to iron out differences over migration and deepen military ties on Friday amid the war in Ukraine after years of bickering over Brexit.

Sunak, who became Britain's prime minister in October, is hoping to capitalise on renewed goodwill with fellow former investment banker Macron to end years of arguing over issues ranging from migration to fishing.

The meeting in Paris will be the first summit of Europe's two main military nations - both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and nuclear powers - in five years.

Ties which have often been rocky since Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016 have been fortified by the countries' support for Ukraine since Russia's invasion.
