French President Emmanuel Macron has arrived in Japan for a visit that was initially aimed at strengthening partnerships in nuclear energy and space innovation, but is now set to be dominated by the war in the Middle East. He will conclude his trip later in the week in South Korea.
A large delegation composed of five ministers – including Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Defense Minister Catherine Vautrin, and Culture Minister Catherine Pégard – as well as numerous business leaders, will accompany Macron to Tokyo on his fourth official visit to Japan.
