French, German defence ministers meet in Paris

French Defence Minister Sébastien Lecornu met with his German counterpart Boris Pistorius in Paris on Sunday.

The pair held talks with their respective delegations as both countries took part in a day of ceremonies and talks to mark 60 years since a landmark treaty sealed a bond between the nations. The French minister said on his Twitter account: "The defence relationship between our two countries is promising: it is based on many concrete projects, both capability and operational." The German government’s entire Cabinet was in Paris for joint meetings with their French counterparts.
