Summary/Abstract: On 10 March, the first Franco-British summit since 2018 was held in Paris, co-chaired by President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. It was intended to demonstrate the will of both countries to renew their strategic partnership, weakened after the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. Despite the cordial atmosphere during the leaders’ press conference, the Franco-British relationship remains a challenge given the differences in the interests of the two countries involved.
