Why Macron Missed G20 First Session

September 09, 2023 22:37 IST

Know why Emmanuel Macron missed the first session of the G20 Summit on Saturday morning?

The president of République Française needed to attend the inaugural game of the rugby World Cup at the Stade de France in Paris on Friday night. Happily for Macron, Le Bleus defeated New Zealand 27-13.

Macron will have a working lunch meeting with Prime Minister Narendra D Modi on Sunday, September 10 2023.
