Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, and French President Emmanuel Macron attend a ceremony before Xi's departure, at the Tarbes-Lourdes airport, southwestern France, on May 7, 2024. People wave Chinese flags after Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived at Tarbes' airport at the start of his trip to visit the village of Bagnere-de-Bigorre and the adjacent Pyrenees ski resort of La Mongie as part of his state visit to France, May 7, 2024.
Chinese President Xi Jinping offered few concessions to his counterpart and host Emmanuel Macron as he wrapped up a two-day visit to France on Tuesday evening. Both presidents are seeking to mend ties on Xi's first trip to Europe in five years, after relations were soured by trade disputes and Beijing's support for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
