STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron hosted a state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Monday evening.

Xi's visit marks the 60th anniversary of France-China diplomatic relations, and follows Macron’s trip to China in April 2023.

Macron put trade disputes and Ukraine-related diplomatic efforts at the top of the agenda for talks with Xi.

The French President said the talks included lifting immediate tariff threats on French Cognac exports.

The Chinese leader arrived in France to open his European tour.

Xi first joined a meeting with Macron and the European Commission president meant to address broader European Union concerns on trade and security issues.

Macron said Monday that France hoped China’s influence on Moscow would help to move Russia toward ending the war in Ukraine.

Xi’s European trip is his first in five years.

He will go to Serbia and Hungary next.
