IS BASED ON ALL OF OUR VALUES.
PRESIDENT MACRON: [SPEAKING IN

THOUGHTS GO TO THE YOUNG

AND WORLD WAR II ON THE SOIL

THESE FREEDOMS WHICH WISH CHERISHED AND WHICH WAS THEIRS.

JOINT WILLINGNESS ON BOTH SIDES
TO BID -- TO BUILD OUR
COUNTRIES, TO MAKE THEM
STRONGER, GREATER YOU WOULD SAY,
THAT OURS NOT FORGET
TASK, ACCORDINGLY, IS TO ALWAYS
BE MORE AMBITIOUS. OUR TASK AT THE HEAD OF THE

MANYRSAL WHEN TOO

AMERICAN.
PRESIDENT MACRON: [SPEAKING IN
FRENCH]
>> [TRANSLATION] THIS IS THE
REASON WHY, MR. PRESIDENT, WE
HAVE DECIDED TO WORK TOGETHER
FOR BOTH OUR COUNTRIES, AND ALSO
ABOUTE THIS DUTY IS
SOMETHING THAT GOES BEYOND US.
THIS IS ALSO THE REASON WHY OUR
MILITARY TOOK LEGITIMATE ACTION

ONLY WAY WE BOTH HAVE TO DEAL
WITH HISTORY THAT GOES BEYOND US.
THE DUTY THAT IS OURS.

BUT I THINK IT ONLY HELPS US TO
WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE THESE
GOALS.
PRESIDENT MACRON: [SPEAKING IN
FRENCH]

OF THE OCEANS, SOME TWO YEARS
AGO, VERY FEW WOULD HAVE BET ON
US BEING HERE TOGETHER TODAY.
