For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, a French president visits Berlin to warm frosty ties.
Emmanuel Macron has initiated the initial state visit to Germany by a French president in 24 years, aiming to enhance relations between the two nations and underscore the significance of safeguarding democracy against nationalism in the upcoming European elections.
“Franco-German relations are essential and crucial for Europe,” stated Macron at the commencement of his three-day state visit to Germany on Sunday. He dismissed any notion that the relationship, frequently referred to as the driving force of Europe, has started to falter.
