France’s Macron to make first visit to Mongolia

EMMANUEL Macron arrives today in Mongolia for a brief, symbolic visit, the first by a French president to the country nestled between China and Russia that is of growing strategic interest to the West.  

The French head of state will stop off in the capital Ulaanbaatar after having taken part in the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan – at which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the star guest.
