French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Tourmalet Pass in the Pyrenees for private meetings following a state visit in Paris marked by trade disputes and concerns over Russia's actions in Ukraine.
The choice of the Tourmalet Pass holds personal significance for Macron, who spent time there as a child visiting his grandmother. This location was selected as a reciprocal gesture after Xi had taken Macron to the residence of the governor of Guangdong province last year, where Xi's father had lived.
