President Lee Arrives in France to Attend Film and Media Summit Tomorrow

President Lee Jae-myung arrived in France on the 6th, local time, to attend the Lumière Summit, an international film and media summit.

The Lumière Summit will be held the following day, the 7th, in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a small town near Nice in southern France, where President Lee is scheduled to attend as co-chair alongside President Emmanuel Macron.

The event will bring together around 150 participants from some 30 countries worldwide, including key executives, policymakers, political leaders, and cultural figures from the film, broadcasting, video, and gaming industries.

Participants are set to discuss challenges and opportunities surrounding the future of the film and video content industry, and reach a consensus on specific action plans regarding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), early media education, and the industry's economic models, among other topics.

The Cheong Wa Dae explained that with President Lee serving as co-chair of the event, it will serve as an opportunity to vitalize cultural exchanges with France and other European nations, as well as boost the global expansion of K-content.

Beginning on the 8th, President Lee will then carry out a two-day state bilateral visit schedule in Paris.

A private luncheon and summit with President Macron, as well as a business roundtable involving companies from both countries, are scheduled.
