PARIS, France - King Charles III on Thursday pledged to do everything he could to strengthen the relationship between France and Britain, suggesting the"indispensable" partners should also team up to tackle the climate emergency.
"For the time that is granted to me as King, I pledge to do whatever I can to strengthen the indispensable relationship between the United Kingdom and France," he said. "Just as we stand together against military aggression, so must we strive together to protect the world from our most existential challenge of all -- that of global warming, climate change and the catastrophic destruction of nature," said the king, known for campaigning on environmental issues for the past decades.
The visit, which was rescheduled from March because of mass protests against French pension reforms, is packed with ceremony and pomp in a country that abolished its monarchy in the 1789 revolution and executed its king.
