Le Premier ministre britannique accueille Emmanuel Macron comme premier visiteur étranger de son mandat, souligne le geste de confiance avec le prêt de la tapisserie de Bayeux et insiste sur sa portée symbolique pour l’éducation et la culture. Il rattache ce geste à la coopération actuelle sur l’Ukraine, la lutte contre les traversées en petites embarcations et le renforcement de la relation Royaume-Uni–UE.

I'm very pleased today to welcome my first overseas visitor as Prime Minister.  And it's so fitting that it is our nearest neighbor and close friend Emmanuel.  On behalf of everyone here, Monsieur le Président, can I thank you for your huge personal gesture of goodwill, trust, and friendship with Britain in allowing the Bayeux Tapestry to be displayed here.  It will, I think I'm certain in saying this, it will lift so many lives and particularly as we both saw last night, the lives of children who learn about this tapestry in school as I did and so many of us did when we were young.  It shows what collaboration can achieve, just as we are also showing on Ukraine, on small boats, and also on strengthening the UK-EU relationship. 

So I look forward to discussing those themes further with you today, but can I just say you are so welcome to Downing Street and we're so pleased to have you with us today.

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, thank you Andy, thank you for your words and this welcome and I'm very happy to be here with you.  I think this is a very important moment for the bilateral relationship indeed with this loan and the beginning, the opening of this exhibition.  We understood yesterday that one million visitors will have the opportunity to see the tapestry and better understand our common history.  And for me it's a great achievement.  And but this is the best evidence as well of this very special relation we have between our two countries. 

And this is being here the opportunity as well to discuss a lot of bilateral topics from defense and security to energy and economy, migration, etc.  And as well to speak about our common commitments with Ukraine and for the security of our continent and alongside the Ukrainian people.  And as well in our common view on Middle East and the common initiative we took one year ago and we will follow up some new initiatives in Middle East and elsewhere.  But this very strong relationship for me is extremely important and I'm here with the willingness and the commitment to get closer and closer.  So thank you very much.
