King Charles III praised France and the United Kingdom's 바카라indispensable relationship바카라 and its capacity to meet the world's challenges, including the war in Ukraine and climate change, in an address Thursday to French lawmakers.
On the second day of his state visit to France, Charles also met with sports groups in the northern suburbs of Paris and was scheduled to pay a visit to fire-damaged Notre-Dame cathedral.
The king received a warm welcome from French lawmakers from both the upper and lower houses of parliament gathered at the Senate, who stood and applauded him at length.
The partnership between the two nations 바카라remains absolutely vital as together we confront the challenges of this world,바카라 he said. 바카라The United Kingdom will be one of France's closest allies and best friends.바카라
바카라Our determination and our alliance are more important than ever바카라 in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he added.
바카라Together, we are unwavering in our determination that Ukraine will triumph and that our cherished freedom will prevail.바카라
Charles offered to adapt the Franco-British 바카라Entente Cordiale,바카라 a 1904 series of agreements that settled former disputes and significantly improved relations, into an 바카라entente for sustainability to respond more effectively to the global climate and biodiversity emergency.바카라
"There's no challenge we can't meet, as we have so often done in the past,바카라 he said.
Charles and Queen Camilla then headed to Saint-Denis, north of Paris, to meet community sports groups and stars as France currently hosts the Rugby World Cup.
Saint-Denis, a multicultural, working-class suburb, will serve as a major venue in next year's Olympics. It is also home to the basilica that houses the tombs of French kings.
Charles and Camilla's trip started with a ceremony at Arc de Triomphe in Paris and a state dinner at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday.
On Thursday afternoon, Charles will visit the Paris flower market named after his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II and rejoin Macron in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral to see the ongoing renovation work aimed at reopening the monument by the end of next year, after it was devastated by a fire in 2019.
바카라I look forward to visiting that magnificent cathedral ... to see how centuries-old crafts have been revived and passed onto apprentices who are helping to restore Notre-Dame to its former glory,바카라 he said in Versailles.
Charles and Macron will also attend a reception for British and French business leaders about financing climate-related and biodiversity projects.
The king will end his trip on Friday with a stop in Bordeaux, the southwestern city that is home to a large British community.
