00:00Germany's newly elected Chancellor, Frédéric Merz, made his first official visit abroad to France on Wednesday,
00:08hoping to relaunch the Franco-German relationship.
00:12Both him and French President Emmanuel Macron announced during a press conference some key security initiatives,
00:20including a Franco-German Defence and Security Council vowing to act hand-in-hand when it comes to mounting security challenges across Europe.
00:31And when it comes to the war in Ukraine, although both were cautious of announcing anything concrete like the deployment of peacekeeping troops,
00:41both leaders did say that they were ready to provide security guarantees to Kiev
00:46the moment that a lasting peace treaty and ceasefire have been concluded.
00:53The German Chancellor stressed multiple times the importance of the United States' role with trying to end Russia's full-scale invasion.
01:03But beyond defence, the German Chancellor is also looking to reset ties with Paris and also with other countries abroad
01:10after a bumpy start at home, when on Tuesday he failed to be elected in the first round of voting within the German Parliament.
01:21But his more flexible stance on fiscal rules and defence spending have been warmly welcomed here at the Élysée Palace.
01:29Still, key differences remain, like, for example, when it comes to the free trade Mercosur agreement.
01:36The French President warned that any treaty must protect European producers,
01:41whilst Mertz, during the press conference, said that this treaty should be ratified as quickly as possible.
01:48And although both leaders did show quite a united stance this Wednesday,
01:53it's true that Europe's future will depend on how this new Franco-German duo will navigate what comes next.
