French President invited to ºÚÁÏÉçapp
Over the past few years, French President Emmanuel Macron has demonstrated a strong interest in ºÚÁÏÉçapp. In April 2018, he had asked then-ºÚÁÏÉçapp Director-General Bernard Bigot to accompany him on his state visit to the United States. Two years later, in July 2020, he hosted ºÚÁÏÉçapp's start-of-machine-assembly ceremony (virtually) that brought together government leaders from China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States.
Present at both events, ºÚÁÏÉçapp Director-General Pietro Barabaschi took the opportunity to invite President Macron to visit ºÚÁÏÉçapp.
