Executive Council members meet with top French officials in Paris

Over two days, Executive Council members met with several senior French government officials from a range of ministries to discuss the role of France in Europe. The members were received by a very positive and forward-looking administration with a clear vision of putting France at the forefront of the digitalisation of the global economy.
