- Story Text: French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday (June 22) welcomed his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris, on the sidelines of a summit aimed at pinning down a roadmap for easing the debt burdens of low-income countries, while freeing up more funds for climate financing.
Hosted by Macron, the two-day summit will bring dozens of leaders together in the French capital to forge a top-level consensus on how to progress a number of initiatives currently struggling in bodies like the G20, IMF-World Bank and United Nations.
Though binding decisions are not expected, officials involved in the summit's planning said that some strong commitments should be made about financing poor countries.
