SEOUL, Sept. 6 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung departed Sunday for a four-day visit to France that will include a summit meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on ways to enhance cooperation in security, the economy and other areas.

The trip follows Macron's visit to South Korea in April. It also comes as the two countries mark this year the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

Lee will first travel to Nice to attend the Lumiere Summit on the future of cinema in nearby Saint-Paul-de-Vence before making a two-day state visit to Paris from Tuesday.

In the French capital, Lee will hold a one-on-one luncheon with Macron, followed by a summit and a dinner banquet hosted by the French president and his wife, Brigitte Macron, at the Elysee Palace.

Lee will also attend a business roundtable involving 20 companies from both countries in Paris.

The trip is expected to flesh out the "global strategic partnership" forged between the two countries during Macron's April visit to South Korea that seeks to enhance the countries' bilateral cooperation in major sectors, such as security, the economy and people-to-people exchanges, National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac said earlier.

The upcoming Lee-Macron summit may also include discussions on cooperation in nuclear power plants and troop deployment to the Strait of Hormuz, a presidential official has noted.

首尔，9月6日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明周日启程前往法国进行为期四天的访问，期间将与法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙举行峰会，讨论如何加强在安全、经济和其他领域的合作。

此次访问是继马克龙4月访问韩国之后进行的。同时，今年也是两国建交140周年。

李安将首先前往尼斯，参加在附近的圣保罗德旺斯举行的卢米埃尔电影未来峰会，然后从周二开始对巴黎进行为期两天的国事访问。

在法国首都，李将与马克龙举行一对一午餐会，随后举行峰会，并在爱丽舍宫参加由法国总统及其夫人布丽吉特·马克龙主持的晚宴。

李还将出席在巴黎举行的有来自两国20家公司参加的商业圆桌会议。

国家安全顾问魏圣乐此前表示，此次访问有望进一步巩固马克龙4月访问韩国期间两国建立的“全球战略伙伴关系”，该伙伴关系旨在加强两国在安全、经济和人文交流等主要领域的双边合作。

一位总统官员指出，即将举行的李-马克龙峰会可能还会讨论核电站合作以及向霍尔木兹海峡部署军队等问题。
