(LEAD) S. Korean President Lee calls for partnership linking local content with global platforms

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung departed from Nice, France on Monday, heading towards Paris for a state visit and bilateral meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron. This journey followed a joint meeting in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where they discussed the future of the film industry. Lee's official visit to France will commence on Tuesday and last for two days.

On the first day of his visit, Lee will engage in a one-on-one luncheon with Macron, followed by their summit discussions. These talks will likely cover a range of topics, including security, economy, science and technology, culture, and people-to-people exchanges. The two countries will be commemorating the 140th anniversary of their diplomatic relations during this visit.

Lee's stay will also include meetings with French parliament speaker Yael Braun-Pivet and Mathias Cormann, the secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), before he resumes his journey back home.
