French President Emmanuel Macron is concluding a two-day state visit to Spain, the first by a French president to the country since 2009, with a focus on economic ties between the two nations, according to a France 24 report.
Macron was welcomed with a banquet at the Royal Palace by King Felipe VI on Tuesday. The final day of his visit includes the opening of the Franco-Spanish economic forum and a meeting with Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
The visit comes as Spain's economy has outpaced France's in recent years, a reversal from a period when France was economically ahead of its southern neighbor, the report noted.
France 24's report did not detail specific agreements expected to emerge from the economic forum or the Macron-Sanchez meeting.
