French President Emmanuel Macron begins an official two-day visit to Monaco on Saturday.
This visit marks the first of its kind by a French president to the principality located in the south of the country in 41 years, preceding his participation in the United Nations Ocean Conference hosted by the city of Nice.
Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene are scheduled to welcome President Macron and his wife Brigitte at 16:45 GMT at the Prince's Palace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
The Elysee Palace stated in a press release that "this visit, which embodies the strong and historical friendship between the two countries, will be the first state visit by a French president to Monaco since Francois Mitterrand (in January 1984)".
