Emmanuel Macron is expected for a three-day state visit in the UK starting Tuesday, when he will address parliament. The French president will also co-chair a summit with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European leaders to discuss boosting Ukraine's defences.
Macron is the first French president to make a state visit to the UK since Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008 and will follow in the footsteps of his predecessors Charles de Gaulle and Francois Mitterrand.
