PARIS, Sept. 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, were set to hold summit talks Tuesday in Paris to discuss ways to enhance cooperation in security, the economy and other areas under their global strategic partnership.

The South Korean president began a two-day state visit to the French capital earlier in the day as the two countries seek to strengthen their partnership on the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. He arrived here late Monday, following a two-day trip to France's Nice, where he and Macron co-hosted a meeting on the future of the film industry.

Escorted by a French military band and French officials, Lee laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris before arriving at the Elysee Palace.

Macron subsequently welcomed Lee into the palace with a friendly hug and a handshake.

The two leaders will first hold a one-on-one luncheon, followed by summit talks, where they are widely expected to flesh out their countries' global strategic partnership forged during Macron's visit to South Korea in April.

A Seoul official earlier said the leaders may also discuss possible cooperation in the nuclear power plant industry, as well as efforts to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

They will hold a joint press event to announce the outcome of their summit, before attending a business roundtable that will bring together some 20 companies from both countries.

Lee will later attend a dinner banquet to be hosted by the French president and his wife, Brigitte Macron, at the presidential palace.

巴黎，9月8日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明和法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙将于周二在巴黎举行峰会会谈，讨论如何在两国全球战略伙伴关系框架下加强安全、经济和其他领域的合作。

韩国总统当天早些时候开始对法国首都巴黎进行为期两天的国事访问。值此两国建交140周年之际，双方希望加强伙伴关系。周一晚些时候，他抵达巴黎。此前，他刚刚结束了对法国尼斯为期两天的访问。在尼斯，他与马克龙总统共同主持了一场关于电影产业未来发展的会议。

在法国军乐队和法国官员的陪同下，李将军在抵达爱丽舍宫之前，先在巴黎凯旋门无名烈士墓敬献了鲜花。

两位领导人将首先举行一对一午餐会，随后举行峰会会谈，外界普遍预期他们将进一步深化两国在马克龙4月访问韩国期间建立的全球战略伙伴关系。
