The state visit is 'important' for Europe as the UK and France face major challenges closer, says French President Emmanuel Macron.
He said his state visit to Britain was "an important moment" for both countries, as they want to "explore new means of cooperation" to tackle "the grand challenges of our time", such as artificial intelligence, defence, migration, nuclear energy and security.
"I am arriving in the United Kingdom for a state visit, followed by a Franco-British summit.
An important moment for our two nations.
The United Kingdom is a strategic partner, an ally, a friend. Our bond is long, forged by history and strengthened by trust.
Together, we will address the key challenges of our time: security, defense, nuclear energy, space, innovation, artificial intelligence, migration, and culture. These are all areas in which we seek to act together and deepen our cooperation in a concrete, effective, and sustainable way.
This is also an important moment for our Europe.
The willingness expressed by the United Kingdom to strengthen ties with the European Union is a strong signal, one that I welcome. It commits us collectively to exploring new means of cooperation that respect our mutual interests.
There is much we can build together: for the stability of our continent, for our shared prosperity and competitiveness, and for the protection of our democracies.
"Our joint efforts to support Ukraine, where the security of our continent is at stake, our industrial projects with EDF, our cooperation in space and our joint military work are all concrete examples that show how vibrant and far-sighted our partnership is," Macron wrote.
On his official visit to London, the French President was given a truly royal reception by King Charles III at Windsor Castle.
