French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin two weeks after his inauguration, because he saw a good reason for the visit.

This opinion was expressed in an interview with the "Observer" by the French political scientist Olivier Vedrin.

"We must look at this meeting from the point of view of the overall process. Do you remember that Putin was going to visit Paris in October last year to open the Russian Spiritual and Cultural Center, but was later canceled? This is the first explanation. The second reason is the meeting of the "Big Seven". Putin was at that time in Europe.

The third reason - the opening of the exhibition in Versailles, dedicated to the 300th anniversary of his arrival in France? ? Peter I ", - noted Vedrin.

According to him, these three events created a good reason for Putin's visit.

"Macron understood this and used the opportunity to invite Putin to Versailles," the political scientist summed up..

As reported by the "Observer", Makron scored the results of his meeting with Putin.
