PARIS, Sept. 7 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Monday arrived in Paris, where he is set to hold a summit with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss ways to enhance bilateral cooperation in security, the economy and other areas.
Lee will make a two-day state visit to the French capital from Tuesday, when he will hold a luncheon and summit talks with Macron.
Lee and Macron are expected to discuss cooperation in various areas, including security, the economy, science and technology, culture, and people-to-people exchanges, as the two countries mark the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Lee will head home Wednesday, wrapping up his four-day trip to France. He earlier visited France's Nice for a first-ever South Korea-France summit on the future of the film industry, which he co-hosted with Macron.
