French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in South Korea on Thursday for a state visit focused on trade, technology and security – following talks in Tokyo where he and Japan’s prime minister agreed to push to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, disrupted by the war in the Middle East.
Macron's two-day visit to Seoul will see him visit a war memorial to pay tribute to French soldiers who fought in the Korean War. He will hold summit talks with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung on Friday.
