President Lee Jae Myung has returned home after a four-day trip to France. He visited Paris for a two-day state visit, during which he held a summit with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace.

The two leaders discussed ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation between their countries. As a result of their talks, South Korea and France signed a dozen memorandums of understanding and pacts. These agreements aim to enhance cooperation in various areas, including artificial intelligence, nuclear energy, defense, and culture.
