Macron begins the first state visit to Germany by a French president in 24 years
LA TimesFrench President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, right, walk with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender on Sunday near Berlin. President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday started the first state visit to Germany by a French head of state in 24 years, a three-day trip meant to underline the strong ties between the European Union’s traditional leading powers. While Macron is a frequent visitor to Germany as Paris and Berlin try to coordinate their positions on EU and foreign policy, this is the first state visit with full pomp since Jacques Chirac came in 2000. The state visit will be followed later Tuesday by a meeting between Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and ministers from both countries at a government guest house outside Berlin.
