President Macron visits Australia

Mr Macron's three-day trip beginning on 1 May will focus on Australia's submarine program and negotiations for an Australia-EU free trade agreement, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Wednesday.

Malcolm Turnbull said the two leaders will discuss Australia’s $50 billion submarine program, which is being built by French company Naval Group.

‘We will also discuss the next steps toward launching negotiations of an Australia-EU Free Trade Agreement, which will embody our commitment to open markets and a liberal rules-based trading system, while significantly strengthening our trade and investment ties,’ the Prime Minister said.

Mr Turnbull labelled France was one of Australia’s ‘oldest and closest friends’.

If you want a deeper understanding of Emmanuel Macron, his bestselling memoir Revolution is out now.

In Revolution, Macron, the youngest president in the history of France, reveals his personal story and his inspirations, and discusses his vision of France and its future in a new world that is undergoing a ‘great transformation’ that has not been known since the Renaissance.

This is a remarkable book that seeks to lay the foundations for a new society — a compelling testimony and statement of values by an important political leader who has become the flag-bearer for a new kind of politics.
