The visit, which will take place on April 18-19, aims to strengthen strategic cooperation between the two countries, a State Department spokesperson said in a statement.
Rubio and his delegation are scheduled to hold high-level meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. Foreign Ministry officials emphasized that this visit is of great importance especially in terms of determining a common position on the Russia-Ukraine crisis and strengthening international solidarity. Moreover, the aim is to deepen transatlantic relations during France’s EU presidency. The visit program also includes a speech to think-tank organizations in Paris and a roundtable meeting with representatives of the French business community.
