Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans he has to celebrate the120th anniversary of the signing of the Entente Cordiale.

The 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale in 2024 will let us celebrate the breadth of the UK-France relationship. At the UK-France Summit in March 2023, the Prime Minister and President Macron underlined their determination to deepen ties, including on migration, defence, energy and culture. UK and French officials, and our respective militaries, are in contact about plans for this anniversary year, which will be communicated in due course.
