Charlotte Baris: In February 2023, a year after the invasion of Ukraine, we told you about Emmanuel Macron’s diplomatic year. The President of the Republic’s phone calls with his Ukrainian and Russian counterparts, meetings with European leaders and negotiations with the United States.
Since then, the war in Ukraine has continued and the attacks of October 7 set the Middle East ablaze, leaving no respite for French diplomacy. So in recent months, Emmanuel Macron has been traveling more than ever. But he also receives a large number of leaders.
This week, L’Express has therefore decided to go behind the scenes of French diplomacy and reveal to you the secrets of the last eight months. Enough to understand France’s place in international discussions and especially the diplomatic mission that Emmanuel Macron has given himself.
